About
Our Mission
The Black Educators Advocates Network exists to transform the environment, practices, and policies that affect the educational experience for Black educators, administrators, students, and parents. The Black Educators Advocates Network was born out of necessity. Founded by Black educators who recognized the desperate need for an educational experience that considers and centers around Black students, BEAN is committed to transforming the learning environment for students of color. BEAN centers its efforts around community building, research and discovery, and bold advocacy.
