If you’ve ever been
uncertain about what to do about the chronic achievement gap
between Black males and other student populations, then here’s a
book that will forever change your approach to these students
and equip you with a whole new plan for motivating Black males
to achieve in school and in life. Award-winning educator and
author Baruti K. Kafele draws from his 20 years of experience in
teaching black males and turning around troubled urban schools
to explain
-
Why the challenges
of educating Black male students are different from
educating other student populations.
-
What all
Black
male students need in their classroom experiences.
-
How to assess your
own attitudes and abilities to educate Black males.
-
Which major
problems outside of school could change the way you teach
Black males.
-
How to address the
root causes of Black male self-identity.
-
Why and how to
develop a young men’s empowerment program.
Motivating Black Males to Achieve in School and in Life
will help educators to understand why lack of proficiency in
reading, writing, and math among Black males is a symptom of
deeper problems that are generally ignored. It will provide
educators with solutions that can be put into their daily
practice right away to improve the performance of their Black
male students. |
