Empower black boys to dream, believe, achieve
Schools that routinely fail Black boys are not extraordinary. In fact, they are all-too ordinary. If we are to succeed in positively shifting outcomes for Black boys and young men, we must first change the way school is ādone.ā Thatās where the eight in ten teachers who are White women fit in . . . and this urgently needed resource is written specifically for them as a way to help them understand, respect and connect with all of their students.Ā
So much more than a call to call to actionābut that, too!āThe Guide for White Women Who Teach Black BoysĀ brings together research, activities, personal stories, and video interviews to help us all embrace the deep realities and thrilling potential of this crucial American task.Ā With Eddie, Ali, and Marguerite as your mentors, you will learn how to:
- Develop learning environments that help Black boys feel a sense of belonging, nurturance, challenge, and love at school
- Change school culture so that Black boys can show up in the wholeness of their selvesĀ
- Overcome your unconscious bias and forge authentic connections with your Black male studentsĀ
If you are a teacher who is afraid to talk about race, thatās okay. Fear is a normal human emotion and racial competence is a skill that can be learned. We promise that reading this extraordinary guide will be a life-changing first step forward . . . for both you and the students you serve. Ā
