THE ONES is a collective built to encourage, support, and increase the success of Black Male Educators in Duval County.

Why this collective exists

• Black Males Educators make up a small percentage of the teaching force in Duval County (6%) and around the country (2%).
• The support and success of Black Males in Education is critical to the academic success of all students in our schools.
• Black Males sometimes find themselves being the ‘only one’ in many schools and situations as education professionals.
• Connection to a group that shares similarities and backgrounds can be extremely beneficial to personal and professional growth.
• We understand the sum of our individual parts creates a community of strength.

All Black Males are part of THE ONES. Individuals will have the ability to opt into more formal development and connection opportunities.

We are THE ONES… we have a responsibility to ourselves, our students, and to each other.
