Ascend Schools educators attended the sixth annual national Black Men Educators Convening (BMEC) in Philadelphia, organized by the Center for Black Educator Development (CBED), this past November. Alongside over 1,000 peers, they connected and discussed the importance of strengthening the Black male teacher pipeline. The Charter School Growth Fund (CSGF) is proud to support our portfolio members' participation at BMEC, recognizing its vital role in driving this impactful work. CSGF’s portfolio includes over 160 charter organizations, with 60% of network CEOs identifying as people of color, and nearly 40% identifying as Black. Learn more about our commitment to diverse voices and Ascend's perspective on this conference in our blog post, 'Diverse Voices, Unified Purpose: Reflections from BMEC 2023 on Black Male Teacher Representation.' https://lnkd.in/g5Eugwsx Thank you Recy Benjamin Dunn Leyde St Leger #Charterschoolgrowthfund #CSGF #Chartergrowth #Charterschools #Charter #Education #BMEC2023
