About The Center for Black Educator Development
The Center for Black Educator Development exists to (re)build a national Black Teacher Pipeline to achieve educational and racial justice by ensuring there is equity in the recruiting, training, hiring, and retention of quality educators that reflect the cultural background and share common socio-political interests of the students they serve. Launched in June 2019, the Center for Black Educator Development is revolutionizing education by dramatically increasing the number of Black educators so that low-income Black and other disenfranchised students can reap the full benefits of a quality public education.

About the Position
As one of the Teaching Pathway programs that CBED offers, Freedom Schools Literacy Academy (FSLA) is a 4-week apprenticeship summer program that prepares high-school and college-aged aspiring educators by way of providing literacy intervention to elementary school scholars. Reporting to the JSL Coach, Junior Servant Leaders lead small group instruction with the support of college-aged Servant Leader Apprentices (SLAs). JSLs will receive professional development, training, cycles of feedback, and individualized coaching, equipping them with the black pedagogical understandings and instructional skills. JSLs will work collaboratively with SLAs to create affirming classroom environments, develop lesson plans aligned to the curriculum, analyze data to drive student outcomes, and co-lead social action projects with scholars. Through participation in FSLA, it is our aim that high school students will strongly consider becoming future educational leaders.
This is an in-person seasonal position from Tuesday, June 25th, 2024 to Friday, August 2nd, 2024. This includes 1.5 weeks of training and 4 weeks of programming. JSLs are required to work Monday through Friday, from 7:45am-3:45pm.
