Across the country, school systems are struggling to ensure all students can benefit from the ‘role model effect’ and the other positive benefits of having teachers that reflect their diversity. Over half of K-12 students are students of color, yet only one in five teachers is a person of color, and less than 2% of teachers are Black men. Join us in a fresh take on the opportunity to ensure a diverse teacher workforce in Edifying Together with Tamir D. Harper.
After earning his degree from American University, Tamir has returned home to the city of Philadelphia to teach 8th graders in a West Philly public school. Follow his journey as a new teacher, as he engages in each episode with leading educators of color from across the country - teachers, professors, and leaders, who will provide insights, mentorship, support, and encouragement.
Edifying Together, featuring Tamir D. Harper, is a podcast dedicated to empowering teachers of color, brought to you by Edifying Teachers.
Edifying Together is an extension of Max Out Time With AJ II's award-winning "Education Reboot" podcast series, created by Arthur Jones II.

Episode 1: Tamir's New Beginnings, w/Dr. Richard Warren Jr
What happens when you connect new and aspiring teachers of color with experienced mentors of color? We call it edification.
In the opening episode of Edifying Together, we celebrate the foundation laid by Arthur Jones II over the past 5 years through his award-winning #EducationReboot series, and as Tamir begins his first year as a new teacher, he welcomes Dr. Richard Warren, Jr, who will be a regular guest.
In this initial conversation, recorded before the start of the school year, aspiring educator Tamir gets his first chance to interact with Richard H. Warren Jr, Ed.D, who was honored as the 2019 Maryland Teacher of the Year and now serves as a professor of education at University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Brian “Kash” Johnson Launches Thee Black Male Educator
This week on #MaxOutTime #EducationReboot: Holy Temple Christian Academy’s Brian “Kash” Johnson discusses why Black men in education are sometimes undervalued and the mission for The Black Male Educator, an organization he founded alongside Joel Insilo this year, which aims to bring more awareness to the small community of Black male educators across the country.
Kash’s goal is to change the perception of a “teacher,” so that it appeals to young Black men. The language arts instructor and his co-founder will be holding an event on June 11 honoring ten Black male teachers from the Miami area.
