Join us for a powerful evening that will challenge, ignite, and inspire. On February 10, 2025, at 6 p.m., we will launch Research for Action’s limited-series podcast, Black at the Whiteboard, which will center the voices of teacher-researchers who joined our pilot participatory action research project.
“Black at the Whiteboard” isn’t just a podcast series; it’s a rallying cry for equity and transformation in our schools. This groundbreaking series unveils the raw, unfiltered experiences of Black educators who stand at the frontlines of America’s classrooms every day. The series dives deep into the issues they face and explores potential solutions to recruiting, retaining, and including Black teachers.
Teacher-researchers and podcast hosts Andrea Barnes and Vicki Green will serve as our MCs for the night as we listen and learn together.

- Confront the realities: Black teachers make up only 6% of the workforce, yet their impact is immeasurable. Discover why we’re losing these vital educators at an alarming rate.
- Hear untold stories: From being pigeonholed as disciplinarians to facing constant microaggressions, our teacher-researchers expose the “invisible tax” on Black educators.
