In today’s educational systems, African Canadian educators face unique challenges. This study investigates the perspectives of African Canadians in addressing these challenges. As a Canadian educator for over twenty-five years, and as professional development leader for the African Canadian Services Division of the Nova Scotia Department of Education, I have had conversations regarding the many challenges we face. This presentation will draw on this experience and knowledge. The methodology consists of completing interviews and constructing life histories of ten African Canadian educators at diverse levels in public education in Nova Scotia. The objective is to describe their challenges and successful strategies. Critical factors for success include: financial, family and community support, rigorous academic qualifications, role modeling, caring educators, having someone believe in them, and self-motivation. The author suggests that an improved understanding about African-Canadian educators’ lived experiences hold implications for all educators in their teaching approaches and for student learning.
