BRIDGEPORT — The only black male role model Ryan Brown recalls while attending Danbury High School was his football coaches. “They had my back,” Brown recalls fondly. Now a seventh-grade math teacher at Read School, Brown, 29, said he has a handful of colleagues who, like himself, are African American. Not nearly enough, he added. So when the opportunity came to work with other members of Educators for Excellence on a paper that explored how to improve the ratio of minority teachers in urban settings and create a more culturally responsive curriculum, Brown said it was a no-brainer.
