Alix Adrien has worked as a math teacher and a school administrator for decades, but at 63, he has no intention of retiring any time soon. 'I'm doing something that is dear to me,' he says.
For Alix Adrien, becoming a Changemaker began decades ago, when he first stood in front of a class full of students, scribbling equations on the blackboard. Adrien worked in the Quebec school system for decades, first as a teacher, but then as an administrator. Even before he took on his latest role, at the helm of the Quebec Board of Black Educators — a group dedicated to helping Black youth thrive academically — he saw the payoff of helping a student struggling in math or physics.
"I've seen too many times where the disciplinary measures that were handed out to the Black child were much harsher than they should have been," he said. He draws on his own experience as a school principal — and on his knowledge of the community — to help administrators understand the cultural context in which their students find themselves.
