Overview

Black Teachers Connect is building a community for Black Teachers. We strive to do this through supporting and promoting the recruitment of Black Teachers in the UK and Worldwide. We are also supporting schools and school leaders to get DEI right. Black Teachers Connect was established in 2018 as a result of Rhia's experience when applying to train to teach. When she was writing her application for her PGCE, she wanted to seek advice from other Black educators on their experiences in the classroom and of working in the education system. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find a network directly for this. As a result, she created Black Teachers Connect so nobody else would have the same experience.
