Ms.#HeyBlackTeacher Shareefah Mason Calls For Culturally Diverse Classrooms

This week on #MaxOutTime #EducationReboot: Shareefah Mason, Associate Dean of Educator Certification at Dallas College and Teach Plus Senior Research Fellow, discusses why it’s imperative for the teaching workforce to include more Black teachers.

“Black students that have a Black teacher in elementary school—one Black teacher—are 13% more likely to go to college,” Mason said. “That number more than doubles to 32% if they have two Black teachers.”

The Presidential Leadership Scholar has also authored multiple books and executive produced a documentary entitled, From The Block, examining the impact Black educators have on students.
