Dive into an enlightening conversation with Atlanta-born educators Zettler Clay and Shaka Bailey, who bring their passion for academic excellence to our discussion on educational mastery. Bailey, wielding his 'superpower' as an African American male teacher, shares invaluable strategies for guiding students to 100% mastery in their learning. We tackle the obstacles in achieving grade-level competencies, especially in critical areas like reading and math, and consider how respect, knowledge, and motivational scaffolding can reshape the educational experience.
