Black Male Educators Talk

Summing up the 2024 BMEsTalk Catalyst in one word: JOY One of our intentions was to: Equip Black men with the tools & resources to increase joy, improve the quality of their professional experiences, and thrive within the field of education. We have space for you! ✅ Bio!

🛠️ 10 days remaining until the start of the Catalyst - our premier leadership retreat! Over 30 Black men from 8 different states will attend. We offer interactive workshops that equip Black men with new strategies and skills to make a lasting impact.

@MrBlueohMrBlue Dope! So glad to see you activating the tools and resources!

In the lab cooking up something for the community. Thx @BMEsTalk for the journal and resources.

@WmStubbs Dopeness! Let us know how we can support. We have developed several curriculums for teachers and teacher-leaders: Emotional Wellness Curriculum for Educator, Collective Intelligence in the Workplace, and Interpersonal Conflict Mitigation.

For nearly a decade, I’ve served as a Managing Dir. (ILD/area supt) of Sec Schls. I’ll now lead in an innovative role that touches the 43 schools within our network/district. Let this be an encouragement to someone. Prepare. Find your passion. Pursue. To God be the glory.

APS’ New Leader Induction Series #2 was a great success today. It’s always good to see leaders in a learning and development space. #schoolimprovement #leadwithcourage #DLE #newAPs&Principals @apsupdate Thank you @MrGuilford_SHMS for hosting us.

BMEs from AZ, TX, GA, SC & PA logged into our Leadership Lab! Participants: "We as Black Men, although we are in different spaces, we all are on a similar path and we are here to support one another." "I didn't feel like I "had" to participate, but I WANTED to participate."

@DrCSLPadgett @DrTamaraCandis @TheBestEducator @kellymastro Is he working at your school?

Today we had the pleasure of coming into @TheBestEducator class as he had Ss explain steps to making a PB&J sandwich. Ss quickly learned based on their writing the importance of adding details and being clear because of what can happen! Thank you 4 making the lesson come to life

"My career in education spans more than two decades. I was first introduced to teaching by my mother, Joy Harrison, a lifelong educator with Seattle Public Schools. Growing up in Seattle, I never thought I would become a teacher." Ayodele tells his story voyageatl.com/interview/coll…

@Dwight_Carter Woot woot! Congrats! Wishing you continued success this school year. #bmestalk

This week marks the beginning of my 29th year in education! #BeGREAT

Goal for this school year.

@MrBlueohMrBlue We love you Alex! #bmestalk

Congratulations fellas! It’s an amazing journey.

@AChampionAPS We knew you’d be excited! Grateful to have you in the cohort!

@dr_jamesavery Love your commentary!

I remember when we got Smartboards. Now our hallways are memorials of what was once the “best” we had to offer. New tech going up and nobody is clinging to Smartboards screaming “but this is the way we’ve always done it!” Oh, if change met less resistance in other areas, too.

We are excited to announce the 2023 Cohort of the BMEsTalk Incubator! This is a dynamic cohort of 7 Black Male Educators seeking to transform the way they lead leaders. #leadershipdevelopment #emotionalwellness #emotionalintelligence #educators Powered by @CBVentures1

@ADNspire @BFGaskins Wishing you a powerful start to the school year.

Thank you @BFGaskins for visiting the Campbell Cougars today. #YoNupe 👌🏾
