About The Center for Black Educator Development
The Center for Black Educator Development exists to (re)build a national Black Teacher Pipeline to achieve educational and racial justice by ensuring there is equity in the recruiting, training, hiring, and retention of quality educators that reflect the cultural background and share common socio-political interests of the students they serve. Launched in June 2019, the Center for Black Educator Development is revolutionizing education by dramatically increasing the number of Black educators so that low-income Black and other disenfranchised students can reap the full benefits of a quality public education. Learn about our key strategies to build a national Black Teacher Pipeline by visiting our website at www.thecenterblacked.org.
About the Position
CBED Freedom School Literacy Academy (FSLA) provides after school programming led by aspiring high school and college-aged educators teaching scholars in grade 1-3. The goal of FSLA is to affirm low-income Black students by substantially increasing the number of Black teachers working with Black students, with a specific focus on social justice.
As the Junior Servant Leader Coach (JSLC), you have experience coaching and mentoring youth, teaching high school students, and writing curriculum. The JSLC will be responsible for implementing a high quality, academic-centered after school enrichment experience for Junior Servant Leaders, scholars, and their parents. Junior Servant Leaders (high school apprentices) attend weekly professional development sessions, receive feedback and coaching in an effort to nurture an ecosystem of academic support, youth development and accountability. The Center commits to equipping future educators with pedagogical understandings and tools that extend beyond the traditionally euro-centric models currently prevalent in the field of education. By doing so, the Center hopes that our JSLs will emerge from their apprenticeship interested in the field of education upon graduation. The Junior Servant Leader Coach will also be part of the onsite leadership and support the day-to-day logistics of the site.
