Under the leadership of Hayden Frederick-Clarke, BlackPrint has become the premiere provider in Massachusetts of professional development, consultation, and guidance regarding culturally responsive pedagogy and racial equity in management, leadership, and school and system operation.

Dr. Frederick-Clarke brings nearly two decades of experience across the education sector, spanning K–12 classrooms, school-district leadership, and graduate-level professorship. He has served as a trusted advisor and executive coach to dozens of executives and managers at state education agencies, school-district leadership teams, and nonprofit organizations. He is sought after as a credible voice on culturally responsive instruction and practices, equity-centered coaching, organization assessment, and systems reform.

Before founding the firm, he was the Director of Strategy of the Opportunity Gap Office of Boston Public Schools after serving as the district’s first Director of Cultural Proficiency. His relentless advocacy in the latter role inspired the creation of The Equal Earth Projection, the most accurate world-map to date. Before joining district administration, he was a high-school Math instructor for 9 years as well as a co-founder and the principal designer of an innovative, culturally responsive alternative-education program that serves over-age, under-credited students. His passion for student excellence and steadfast effort to make his Math lessons “speak” to his students’ realities earned him the Facing History and Ourselves “Facing History Together” Teacher Recognition Award” in 2014 out of an international pool of nominees.

An avid writer, Dr. Frederick-Clarke contributed to Critical Leadership Praxis for Educational and Social Change. His work has also appeared in TheRoot.com, the University of Pennsylvania’s journal, Perspectives on Urban Education, BlackCommentator.com, and AllHipHop.com among other outlets. He also authored The 7 Forms of Bias Protocol - a tool that guides practitioners through the identification of and engagement with bias in curricular materials.

Dr. Frederick-Clarke earned his doctorate in Education and Organizational Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania in August, 2020. His study examined the lingering effects and consequences of European colonialism on a school in Trinidad and Tobago.
