It is so important for students to see themselves represented in influential leadership positions at school, showing them what's possible for their own lives and careers. However, while the number of school-aged Black and Latino children has increased significantly, Black and Latino men make up only 13% of school principals in the U.S. To help ensure students see themselves reflected in the educators and leaders around them, NFBLME: The National Fellowship for Black and Latino Male Educators is working to close this gap. Through its unique programming, the organization helps Black and Latino men become principals and leaders throughout the education sector. https://lnkd.in/eeH-Jmwg
