Davontez Johnson, a participant in the Leading Men Fellowship, acts as a role model for preschoolers, addressing the lack of Black male teachers in early education.
The Leading Men Fellowship tackles several issues: the shortage of educators, lack of Black and Latino male teachers, and challenges faced by boys of color in schools.
Ivan Douglas of the Literacy Lab emphasizes that the fellowship not only impacts students in classrooms but also nurtures future educators.
Johnson believes his presence as a young Black male in a preschool setting can inspire children, acknowledging that representation is crucial in early education.
