Black Master Teachers Take Charge!

Black Master Teachers Take Charge!

We are a group of experienced Black women educators recognized as master teachers dedicated to the academic success of Black children in kindergarten through third grade. We are responding to the alarming crisis of educational failure among Black students, where, in most states, fewer than 22% of Black children in third and fourth grade achieve proficiency on state and national reading tests.

It is clear that our public schools are struggling to effectively teach our children the essential skills of reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, and critical thinking. As Black master teachers, we must take charge!

Launch of a New Website

We are excited to announce the launch of a new website featuring a collection of step-by-step videos designed to help Black families teach their children reading and writing skills to the highest standards. We believe that helping Black children succeed academically involves utilizing teaching methods that resonate with our culture. Our videos will showcase the original Touching the Spirit® culture-centered teaching methods—proven strategies that successful educators use with Black students.

Last year, we received a grant from the New Schools Venture Fund, which allowed us to establish a solid foundation for the Touching the Spirit® teaching strategies in two Chicago charter schools and four after-school programs in Indianapolis. While we are currently seeking additional funding sources, the response and confirmation process can take time, and we need to maintain our momentum as we enter the new school semester.

Additionally, we need to demonstrate to potential funders that we have support from families, educators, and community activists.

Last month, a generous donor provided the final payment of $2,800 needed to complete the technical work on our new website, which includes an advanced design video index. Any additional funds raised will support our workspace rental, the purchase of necessary materials, and the hiring of personnel for ongoing video production, editing, website maintenance, social media outreach, subscriptions, and more.

We appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Thank you,
