Clip: 8/27/2022 | 10m 1sVideo has Closed Captions
Hear about an effort to get more Black male teachers in the classroom.
For Chicago Public School students, it’s possible to go from kindergarten to high school and never have a Black man as a teacher. Last fall, three Chicago high schools instituted a pilot program to address that imbalance. The Intro to Urban Education curriculum is designed to encourage young Black and Latino men to envision themselves at the head of the class.
