When effective leaders of color lead our schools, the impact is profound. School communities feel more connected, the most marginalized students feel safer, and recruitment and retention rates for teachers of color soar, and that’s only the beginning. Our latest project spotlight shows just how Harrison Peters and his team at MCEL (Men of Color in Educational Leadership) worked with Dr. Eric Hollinhead of Peak Leadership Services, LLC, to reimagine HR practices in schools to foster a culture of adaptability and inclusivity, ensuring that leaders of color have the tools they need to thrive.

About us
What if every education leader and team that identified a challenge could access the expertise and hands-on support they needed to address it? What if, as a sector, we were continuously learning from these efforts and leveraging insights to better students, families, and communities? Catalyst:Ed is a national nonprofit working to transform the capacity of the nation’s education ecosystem and improve outcomes for the millions of students it serves. Our pioneering model rapidly and effectively matches education organizations to tailored technical assistance and capacity building supports so they can address long-standing challenges and expand the limits of what they can accomplish. We also invest in strengthening the capacity of grassroots organizations that work in close proximity to historically marginalized communities. At a systemic level, we are building the ecosystem and infrastructure – the network, the technology, and the know-how – needed to support capacity building at scale, strengthen the field of providers, and facilitate sector-wide learning. Our guiding principles: - Capacity building fuels world-changing work. - Individualized support is necessary, yet collective learning is possible. - A focus equity and justice must be integrated into capacity building. - There is no progress without trust.

It's vital to recognize the challenges Black leadership and Black-led organizations face in securing funding. Our latest blog, written by Tre Johnson, delves into these pressing issues and the alarming regression since 2020. https://lnkd.in/eFPPayJF
Today's Juneteenth, and for the last several months I've been talking to friends and colleagues who're all mad, scared and exasperated with the state of funding and how it's impacting Black leadership and Black-led organizations. We're disappearing at a rapid, alarming rate now that the goodwill and urgency of 2020 has regressed to familiar levels. I wrote about it more in the latest Catalyst:Ed newsletter, and in our blog which I'm linking here. Share any thoughts and look out for more from us soon. https://lnkd.in/euUKzVZ4
