BMT Academy

Opening doors of educational opportunity for all youth, free of charge.

How many Black male educators has your child experienced? How many do you think he will have in his lifetime? Data tells us that it is not likely that your child will be placed with a teacher that looks like him.

BMT Academy is a space where we are building a pathway for Black men to become educators, and also providing a safe space for young scholars to be seen, heard and supported by teachers who look like them.

As we continue to expand our network of partner schools, BMT Academy is gearing up for a future return. Stay informed about upcoming developments, new partnerships, and key updates by signing up for our newsletter today!

Guiding and educating the next generation.

Our aspirations and goals with Black Men Teach Academy are simple: Give children the opportunity to learn first-hand from a Black Educator who shares similar perspectives on education, work, and life. Last year, Academy students provided us with feedback relating to how the program effected their Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making.

90%

Of our students saw improvement as it relates to naming and understanding emotions.

97%

BMT ACademy internS

BMT Academy was remarkably effective in exposing interns to the day-to-day roles and responsibilities of licensed teachers. Interns created their own plan for building classroom culture and expectations; they studied curriculum and prepared lessons that were engaging and culturally relevant; they became reflective practitioners and adjusted their approach to instruction and methods to classroom management when needed. This wasn’t an exhibition. This experience was very real for our interns and their students - it produced real results that will have a major impact on their plans for the future.
