Kay Toliver was born and raised in East Harlem
and the South Bronx. As a classroom teacher, Kay’s goal
was to inspire African-American and Hispanic youths to
realize their own dreams. She wanted to give something
back to the communities she grew up in.
For more than 30 years, Kay taught mathematics and
communication arts at P.S. 72/ East Harlem Tech in
Community School District 4. Prior to instructing
seventh and eight grade students, Kay taught grades one
through six for 15 years.
To show teachers throughout the country how she created
enthusiasm for mathematics among her students, Kay
worked with the Foundation for Advancements in Science
and Education (FASE) to create a number of educational
video products. These materials include the classroom
series “The Eddie Files”, the staff development series
“The Kay Toliver Files”, and “Teacher Talk.”
Most recently, Kay has worked with The Futures Channel
to present staff development institutes and parent
engagement events at schools and districts throughout
the country.
