As part of our commitment to supporting the next generation of Black educators, we ask applicants to reflect on their role in shaping a more just and inclusive educational system. This essay allows us to understand your passion, experiences, and vision for equity in education.
Your essay should be 500-750 words and provide a thoughtful, well-structured response to the following prompt:
"Education has the power to transform society, yet historically, it has also been used to uphold systems of oppression that marginalize Black and Brown communities. As a future Black educator, how do you plan to make a meaningful impact in challenging inequities in education, advocating for truth in curriculum, and creating a more just and inclusive learning environment for all students? Share a personal experience or initiative you have led or participated in that demonstrates your commitment to educational equity."
