The National Alliance of Black School Educators recently held elections for its leaders and announced its new leadership on May 15. Members of NABSE submitted votes between May 8-14. Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney will be installed as President-Elect in November.

NABSE is a nonprofit organization devoted to furthering the academic success of the nation’s children – especially children of African descent. The organization provides professional development to members and encourages members to share information about innovative instructional and learning strategies that have successfully motivated African American youth and increased academic performance. Members also actively support policy to ensure high standards and quality in public and private education systems.

“The National Alliance of Black School Educators is a respected network of education leaders who put children’s interests first, especially our African American youth whose scores on literacy, math, and science fall far behind white and brown students. I have made raising positive outcomes for black students one of Aldine ISD’s goals. All means all. Truly, I am honored to be a part of the organization. Their mission aligns with my own beliefs that we must reimagine education for all students. We must develop strong leadership and create school choice systems that provide quality, equitable access, and equitable funding,” said Goffney.

Dr. Goffney will focus on literacy, leadership, legacy, and legislation.

Education leaders, including teachers, administrators, superintendents, school board members as well as corporate and institutional members, comprise NABSE.

As a NABSE leader, Dr. Goffney will continue to improve African American youth’s educational experiences and achievements by developing and using instructional and motivational methods that increase positive outcomes for students.

To meet the organization’s goals, NABSE empowers educational leaders through professional development and provides a network of leaders to share information to transform schools giving more students access to high-quality educational experiences and opportunities.
