What if the key to retaining Black educators isn’t another training—but freedom? In this powerful clip, a #sxsw participant breaks down what schools, districts, and unions really need to do: stop boxing in Black teachers. Instead of using them to enforce control and compliance, honor their knowledge, trust their pedagogy, and allow them to teach in culturally grounded, liberatory ways. When Black educators are given space to be their full, authentic selves, real learning—not just supervision—can thrive.
🔥 If you care about equity, education, and Black teacher retention, you need to hear this.
