A Day in the Life of Newark Tech principal, Baruti Kafele - NJ Classroom Close Up Profile
I've been in the game for 17 years. However, I'm running into a wall where I'm not being allowed to be who I am and I'm no pretender. I'm considering walking away.
Understood completely. Certainly, I will not encourage you to leave, but under the circumstances, I do understand.
I’m rushing out the door every morning for work without eating any breakfast. I tell myself I’m not a morning person so I leave last minute after fighting to wake up. Then for lunch I go for a local fast food like Starbucks, McDonald’s, or Safeway Deli. These foods don’t make me feel good at all but this video inspired me to take better care of myself and to put my health first because I cannot teach children to be successful if I don’t make my own life healthy and successful
Exactly. I'm glad you saw the video and I hope you make the necessary changes. As you know, it matters!
If the school is ran by black men then yes otherwise they will expect you to rescue every weak ineffective white woman that are afraid of black students.
It would be more appropriate to say that Black MALES should consider teaching as a career option. Black MEN will never survive in an environment where they cannot be MEN. Their leadership will be rejected, and they will not have the authority and respect that they should have. Teachers, particularly in urban schools, are attacked, cursed out, disrespected, and emasculated (The pay is beside the point but important as well). There is a reason fewer and fewer people (male AND female) are entering the teaching profession. There is a severe shortage NATIONWIDE. Colleges of education are seeing low enrollment, and a good percentage of people who do try it QUIT in under five years. How many teachers are leaving the profession 2023? 51,000 teachers U.S. number of teachers and educational staff quitting the profession 2020-2023. In November 2023, about 51,000 teachers and other educational staff quit their jobs in the United States.Jan 8, 2024 Quits among educational staff U.S. 2023 - Statista statista.com www.statista.com › statistics › number-quits-educa..🤓
I know that side mama! You really carried us along!❤
Where is the rest?
In essence, blacks have been corralled into ignoring WHO they REALLY are, and misguided and divided by Christianity and Islam to make UNIFICATION of minds and resources impossible. To be an "Educator" begins with one's self, the social currants against structured it to suit their own delusions, now I've heard "Scholars" spewing what amount to coached IGNORANTS and surface based "Philosophers", the going backward and empty since "EGYPT". POINTS TO PONDER!!!
Wrong! The administrators and the dept of education do not support their employees. My son was a substitute and was assaulted by a high school student who was larger than him. The school pressed charges against both and the dept of education asked him to resign due to political reasons. You need to educate yourself on the reasons why so many teachers have quit since the pandemic and why there is a high trend of students assaulting teachers. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Most states are moving to finally demolish the dept of education which is clearly against black and brown people outwardly! You havent taught since 1997, you are clearly unaware. Principals were part of the problem. Teachers are undervalued by administrators and the kids of today that are aware that noone can touch them with out losing their jobs. Go and visit the many teachers blogs and substitute teacher blogs and forums. Smh
I dialogue and debate with people who disagree respectfully. All others, I ignore. Enjoy your day.
No- Black men. DO NOT GO INTO K-12 teaching it’s a trap. It’s stressful, thankless, and you will overworked everyday for very low pay.
Thank you for the message. I’m currently taking steps toward my teaching certification.
Excellent! We need you!
Escape while you can, it’s not worth it. Black male educators are not respected and are taken advantage of in K-12 education.
Are you serious? If you haven’t taught recently, much less, in over 20 years , then you should NOT recommend that anyone especially black men subjugate themselves to disrespect, violence, usery and stress that comes with post CoVid teaching in classrooms. You demonstrate conviction yet you admittedly don’t know what your talking about. You are powerless against the phone and media scourge that ravaged classrooms today. Please please please go back in the class or chill with the pseudo do-good rhetoric!

THANK YOU PRINCIPAL KAFELE!!! RETIRED BLACK MAN CERTIFIED LICENSED TEACHER NOW TURNED SUBSTITUTE TEACHER! ✌️✌️😄😄
Thank you!
Principal Kafele, This message is still just as relevant today as when it was first delivered. I thank you. So thrilled to be a receiver from your free Assistant Principal Virtual Leadership PD every Saturday at 11am. 150 sessions strong... you are awesome.
Your words are most appreciated Karen! Thank you!
Ended on a powerful note

This is the greatest speech, encourage and emotional thank you for sharing 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much Rebeka. Much appreciated!
That hit me like a ton of bricks as well.
I appreciate that!
All motivation now gone from schools thanks to people just like this. 2+2 no longer equals 4. Many books written on what is going on today..... none of it good.
Very true!
Our education theories are antiquated
Great words spoken here! Truth!
Thank you sir!
Great speech and message!
Thank you Maurice. Much appreciated!
Another Great Video!!!! #Black Excellence,#Black Power, #Knowledge is Power ✊🇱🇾👏
Thank you much!
You have the power!! You must speak positivity to yourself as a leader and then you can project that type of behavior to your faculty, staff, and your students. You have the power to change the trajectory of the culture and the outcome of the entire organizational system.
I’m a black male teacher beginning his first year (math, middle/high school, USA in California). Excellent video! Thankfully my education employer in California pays well enough to make teaching a palatable career!
Thank you and sorry for the late reply. Continued success to you in the new school year.
Yesssa, Master P!!! This is so true!!! To be look at as a #Motivator, and even moreover, a #LEADER, is the KEY to guiding a tight ship!! ...#especially AT HOME!!!! But If it doesn't happen at home, FIRST... then it is fraudulent and hypocritical for it to happen anywhere else. ... this is why most 'Motivator and Leaders" FAIL in others environments mainly because they FAIL AT HOME!! Home FIRST; then First, Second and Third base!! ... But MOST wanna'be motivators just - dont - get'it!! Thanks, Master P!! You are DaMan, my brotha!!
thanks very much for this videos, i have couple of weeks trying to understanding the meaning of distributive leadership, today this has open my mind and i can be able to make distinction between instructional and distributive theories.
Thank you very much Evelyn and continued success to you!
You ARE preaching!!!!!!!!! 🙌
Thank you!
So valid! The tie is sharp too!!
Thank you Lyn!
@@APandNewPrincipalsAcademy NP!
You are an outstanding speaker and motivator. I’ve listened to your messages and have used nuggets from your messages in my role as the instructional leader. Thank you!
Thank you much Berlinda. I appreciated you!
Retired Navy, 2021 First Generation graduate, McNair Scholar and I hear my father in your words. I come to you having made the decision to enter the classroom. I can’t get enough of your persona, Sir.
Much appreciated and much success to you in the classroom!
“The Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys” to the conspiracy to build black boys into men. “You gonna have to make a decision.” My two sons are now married productive men with advanced degrees, and one is a father of two. My sons were taught to be Scholar-Athletes, now 6’5” and 6’6” everyone was always putting a 🏀 or a 🏈 in their hands. Instead of trying to hold back the tsunami, I worked with the cultural and societal stereotypes placing emphasis on scholar. The easiest way to convey this critical distinction is to link classroom performance to practices. If they missed enough practices they were not allowed to play. When their skills exceeded the coaches desire to penalize them, I kept them home from games. These parent to teacher/coaches relationships were cultivated and sometimes contentious due to my fighting teaching styles that are not conducive to African American males acquiring knowledge. The ignorance is on both sides thus teachers may have to teach their student’s parents how to be engaged parents by creating lines of open communication. Potentially frustrating is the by-product of dealing with an informed parent. Awesome presentation.
In 1984 my high school counselor said, “You do not have the intellectual capacity for college.” I believed her, not knowing she missed my dyslexia. 2020 I graduated as a First Gen, Student Veteran, and the 2020 McNair Scholar. As I look to graduate school, I hope to inspire students as a teacher. I wish my counselor heard your message before speaking to me, but I will use what I have learned here.
Wow...I am so sorry to hear this but obviously you proved the counselor wrong! Excellent! keep up the great work!
@@APandNewPrincipalsAcademy Thank you kindly Sir.
Dr. Kafele, Thank you for being unapologetically you and being a beacon for us Black men in education. I consistently cite your work in my grad program. Thank you.
Much appreciated Greg. Thank you much!
To reach that child you have to put yourself in his or her shoes so you can build that bond. Once bond is built than the work of reversing the mis education can begin.
Indeed!
We have change the thought process of African-Americans and education the time is now
Indeed!
1st most important thing is to read, re-read DEUTERONOMY 28:15-68, WAKE UP YOU NEGROES, YOU ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE TORAH AKA THE TORAH. TIME TO RETURN TO OUR GOD, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH THE MOST HIGH GOD OF YISRAEL AND HIM ONLY. APTTMHCOY ALONE. SOBEIT

I met Principal Kaffele 5 years ago and he changed my life as an educator enabling me to be the best teacher I can be. God Bless You!
God bless you Brother. Thank you much! Keep soaring!
This has truly been a wake up call for me and helpful tips I can take back into the classroom. The speaker Mr. Kafele present himself to the most high. I thoroughly enjoyed him. We never get too old to learn. We are all in this together. Our attitude is so important in our journey.
Thank you Carol. Very much appreciated!
Your dozen plus questions, are significant only if a student does not want an education.
Powerful
Thank you much!
Good attitude and no excuses, foundation for something great
Yes sir!
Incredibly inspirational... thank you!
Thank you Tim....much appreciated!
Such powerful message. Any advice to create that mood during covid-19? While they have to wear masks?
That's a whole presentation. When you have PD at your school, invite me in and I can discuss.
Powerful!
Thank you Sha...much appreciated!
I am a black male teacher and leader. Sadly, I only had one black male teacher from PK-12 and college.
I am also a veteran black man teacher and leader that has taught multiple subjects! Black children (especially our little black brothers; black boy's) desperately need us because they are experiencing so much trauma from all angles!!! As a fellow certified teacher, I appreciate your power and efforts!!!!
Sir I am currently a sophomore in college studying majoring in elementary education and this video helps me understand how much of a difference I can make in a child’s life. Thank you for sharing these key points.
Absolutely and much success to you. As you continue with your coursework, me sure to visit my website at principalkafele.com for my website resources and my books for teachers. You are appreciated!
Is teaching going well for you now? Because I’m a black male and I’m considering it myself
Great, stay blessed. I have been teaching for twenty years in UAE, but now I am ready for a new challenge to become a speaker as it was my goal at some point in my life. Request your valuable suggestion for the same.
Sounds good. make it happen!
Principal, you look strong and healthy as ever! Great lesson!
I appreciate that. Thank you!
I love this man as a colleague and former teacher?
