#1 | The Only Black Male Educator at My School

Have you ever felt ISOLATED at your school? Whether it be socially? Over a particular issue? Approach? In your own classroom?

Any honest individual will answer YES to this question. It’s human! Once we acknowledge our shared humanity as teachers, staff, and students, the faster we can build a safe culture and climate at our school site.

In this episode, we cover

1. The gender demographics for educators, as we move through elementary, middle, and high school

2. A story about being the only Black educator at my school site, and how empathy toward others’ identities can create a culture of belonging in your school community
