Why
Black males make up only 2 percent of teachers in the United States (U.S. Department of Education, 2016). This is an opportunity. It can be argued that an increase in Black male teacher recruitment, retention, and development not only holds the potential to create a more equitable distribution of Black teachers to Black students nationally, but also may directly impact the academic achievement of said students in positive and productive ways (Gershenson, Hart, Hyman, Lindsay, & Papageorge, 2018).
