1) Black Space: A space where Black educators can be our full authentic selves. 2) Glory stories: Our classrooms aren't battlefields, they're sanctuaries so we share our triumphs and our challenges openly. 3) Super human, not super hero: We're not "saving" our children or helping them "make it out". We're helping them make it in, to seeing, exploring, and actualizing their best selves. 4) Bridge builders: Perhaps if white teachers can understand our perspectives they'll be better equipped to understand and serve our children. 5) Replenishing the ranks: The collective wisdom and experience shared here is meant to keep more Black teachers in the field and recruit others to join our noble profession. 6) Research based. Through story telling, we share best practices and the subsequent research. 7) Faith filled: We recognize the anointing of our calling. 3 Reasons to Blog for Black Teacher Chronicles:
