Addressing the Education Gap for Black Girls: Strategies for Inclusive Success with Dr. Hyacinth Dyer
Send us a text
Why are Black girls still falling through the cracks of the American education system? In this important conversation, Dr. Lisa Hassler sits down with expert Dr. Hyacinth Dyer to explore the disconnect between what teachers believe they provide—and what Black girls actually experience in their K–12 education journey.
Drawing from her research study Education and the Black Girl, Dr. Dyer reveals:
- The alarming suspension and arrest rates Black girls face starting in preschool
- How cultural bias leads to harsher discipline and emotional exclusion
- Why teachers’ perceptions of support often don't match student experiences
- Actionable strategies for creating culturally responsive and emotionally inclusive classrooms
- The urgent need for teachers to embrace culturally relevant pedagogy and listen to the voices of Black girls
This episode challenges educators, leaders, and families to recognize systemic barriers—and take meaningful steps toward creating schools where Black girls are seen, heard, and empowered to succeed.
If you're passionate about educational equity, inclusion, and the future of our schools, this is an essential listen.
