Teaching Towards Tomorrow

A first year English teacher at a high poverty school - trying to make it work while doing my part to change education (and loving it all in the process).

When I'm not prematurely graying, coaching and writing lesson plans, I read too much fanfiction, drink too much hot tea, and pet the cat. I also have problems accepting that fictional characters are not real.

Black male teachers a rare breed

Take a moment and think of all the teachers you had between pre-K and twelfth grade.

Now, how many of them were black men?

For most people, this question won’t take too long to answer. That’s because less than two percent of America’s teachers are black men, according to the Department of Education.

That is less than 1 in 50 teachers.
