The 4E's Framework for Black Male Teachers
Research points to four factors that lead Black men to and through the classroom. We leaned into these four factors to build local pipelines for Black males to teach.
Our next Black male teachers
Recruiting Black men into teaching begins in K-12 and ends with retirement. Our programs engage Black males in education throughout their lives.
Our Programs
Experience
Black male Teachers
When Black boys experience Black male teachers, they are more likely to succeed in school, reach lifelong success, and become teachers.
Exposure
to Teaching
When Black males have early exposure to teaching, they are more likely to begin a career in education.
Expand
Teaching Skills
When Black males have culturally-relevant opportunities to expand their teaching skills, they have the tools to stay in the profession longer.
Explore
Self-Identity
When Black males explore their own identities, they become more effective classroom teachers.
