"With limited insight into the factors affecting Black male educators in P-12 education, the voices of the NNSTOY fellows served as the 'coal miner's canary' - calling attention to the challenges experienced within the career trajectory of many Black male educators at every phase," said Dr. Their reflective quotes and personal narratives were published in a joint white paper, entitled, "Having Our Say: Examining Career Trajectories of Black Male Educators in P-12 Education." Three areas of focus were spotlighted as potential solutions to the shortage: improved recruitment efforts, greater representation in teacher preparation programs and enriched experiences in school settings. This exploration highlighted insights of fellows of the 2018 cohort of NNSTOY Outstanding Black Male Educators.
To uncover factors affecting the shortage of Black male teachers, researchers from University of Phoenix (UOPX) Center for Workplace Diversity and Inclusion Research-in partnership with the National Network of State Teachers of the Year (NNSTOY) - examined the current status of Black male educators in our nation's classrooms. As a result, there has been little improvement in attracting and retaining Black male educators. The recruitment of these teachers continues to be a critical topic in educational reform, but studies on the factors contributing to the shortage remain scarce. The shortage is especially alarming among Black male educators, who represent less than two percent of the total teaching population.
