About me:
Hello, my name is Enitan Yarbrough, and I’ve been a lifelong educator in Minneapolis Public Schools. I currently live in South Minneapolis with my dog, Kosey. When I'm not working with students, I enjoy staying active through working out, fishing, golfing, biking, playing with my dog and reading. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and love listening to music.
I strongly believe in the ideals of justice for all. I am committed to providing students with an educational experience that meets their human needs, allowing them to define success on their own terms.

Ed pathways 2024 interviews.mp4In Minnesota, we have a teacher of color crisis. Out of 65,000 teachers, less than 4% are BIPOC, and of that, 1.4% are Black.
The Education Pathway was created to support students from our community who are interested in learning about education and pursuing a career as future teachers and educators.
Our goal is to transform education in North Minneapolis. We envision a future where our graduates will be leaders in education and the community, working to create a more just and equitable society for all.
