The Center for Black Educator Development (CBED) is committed to rebuilding the national Black teacher pipeline, addressing the critical need for educator diversity and educational equity. In this edWeb podcast, the panelists highlight CBED’s Teaching Academy (TA), a dual-enrollment, career and technical education (CTE) program designed to support teacher diversification and enhance academic outcomes for all students.

This session aims to introduce Teaching Academy as a transformative solution for school districts, charter networks, and independent schools to attract and retain diverse educators, particularly those who reflect the communities they serve. Learning objectives include:

• Understand the importance of teacher diversification and its impact on student achievement, especially for students of color
• Explore the Teaching Academy’s model, combining teacher preparation, dual enrollment, and CTE elements
• Learn how to implement Teaching Pathways in your schools to build a sustainable teacher pipeline
• Gain insights into CBED’s national expansion strategy

Listeners gain valuable insights into how CBED’s Teaching Academy addresses educational equity and racial justice, while providing practical steps for engaging with CBED to implement Teaching Pathways in their schools. Join us to learn how this initiative is shaping the future of teacher diversity and educational outcomes. This edWeb podcast is of interest to school leaders and district leaders of high school, higher education, and adult learners.
