Educators are innovators.
The Black communities that we are trying to serve, have little or no guidance. Many who come to America for the ‘American Dream’, quickly realize that this is easier to achieve if they understand how to ensure that their children are properly educated. They are slowly beginning to understand that this is something they must learn how to do. Parents have many choices in education today; public school, charter school, independent school, faith school, magnet, gifted, sector-driven schools like STEM, dual language, etc. When you have this many choices in selecting the right type of school for your child, on top of which you must make sure they do well every day that they are there, it is very much a given now that you need to be taught how to make sure that this will work for both you and your child.
