“Anything we deem as Black excellence needed a Black teacher.”
#Shoutout to pouring back into your community, and believing in the brilliance of kids! On this episode, we are joined by Ms. Connie Johnson as she reflects on the impact and influence the community has on the state of education. As a program manager with limited funding and a desire to engage families, Connie speaks about the importance of developing partnerships, the collaboration between classroom teachers and after school facilitators, and why she is thankful for the educator who flunked her with a smile.
