HBCUs produce nearly half of all Black teachers in the U.S.
Feb 24, 2023
HBCUs play an outsize role in producing teachers of color in the U.S., where only 7 percent of teachers are Black, compared with 15 percent of students. Of all Black teachers nationwide, nearly half are graduates of an HBCU.
...
A recent study of elementary school students in North Carolina found Black students performed better in math when taught by an HBCU-educated teacher.
“There’s something to be said for the environment that’s cultivated, the way they connect with their students, the inspiration, the vulnerability that they may have with their students,” said Stanford University graduate student Lavar Edmonds, who conducted the study.
In Edmonds’ study, the teacher’s race did not have an impact on student outcomes, but their training did. For Black students, Black and white HBCU-trained teachers were more effective than their non-HBCU-trained counterparts.
