The Irony of Getting Your House in Order for Schools

The irony of schools teaching the parable getting your house in order is comedy, especially when schools don't represent all of their students.

This year, there have been more national conversation about the need for more Black male teachers. Now it's time for action. If your school is planning to hire and retain Black male teachers here are a couple of things you will need to do!
  • Ensure they are prepared for the classroom
  • Provide quality professional development
  • Inspire them to go above and beyond
  • Support and appreciate their work
  • Allow flexibility to create and implement innovative lessons
  • Engage the entire family in the learning process
School districts that are intentional about empowering teachers, families and communities find success in their school turnaround strategies.

It starts with intentional leadership that drives change, innovates, builds effective partnerships with all stakeholders and shifts culture in an upward direction so that all children succeed.
