Posted February 26, 2026

Shout-out to Denver 7’s Micah Smith for this feature that includes Kaheem Heath, a 2025 graduate of Robert F. Smith STEAM Academy! Check out this latest news story about “The Den: Black Male Educators Fellowship” and the Call Me Mister Teacher Pathway Program at Metro State University.

Kaheem Heath, Call Me MiSTER program participant and aspiring teacher, said the fellowship and other programs are important mechanisms for recruiting future educators like himself.

“For my entire life, I’ve never had, specifically, a Black male teacher, and I feel like that struck me the hardest, like, I have to make a change for this, because a lot of these young kids, they don’t have somebody that looks like them, especially males,” Heath said.
