Black Male Teachers: There aren't enough of them

WASHINGTON POST - Consider these statistics: Slightly more than half of all public schools students are children of color. Yet, despite documented benefits of a racially and ethnically diverse teaching force, no more than 2 percent of teachers in the public education system are black men. What’s more, research shows that teachers of color are leaving the profession. The following post discusses the reasons for the dearth of black males in the teaching force and how to support and retain them. It was written by Travis J. Bristol, a research and policy fellow at the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education (SCOPE) who used to teach high school English teacher in New York City public schools and who was a teacher educator with the Boston Teacher Residency program.

Bristol’s research interests now focus on the intersection of race and gender in organizations. His most recent work includes consulting for The World Bank in Washington D.C. and Georgetown, Guyana; his projects included providing technical assistance to the Guyanese Ministry of Education as it created the 2014 – 2019 Education Sector Plan. Travis has been awarded the Vice-President’s Grant for Student Research in Diversity and the Provost Doctoral Dissertation Grant from Teachers College at Columbia University, the Minority Dissertation Fellowship from the American Educational Research Association, a Ford Dissertation Fellowship from the National Research Council of the National Academies and the Spencer Dissertation Fellowship from the National Academy of Education.

Ted Ginn was a coach and full-time high school security guard in 2006 when he proposed to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District an academy based on his brand of mentoring.
Self-Made Educator Fulfills a Vision for Boys in Cleveland
CLEVELAND — A 16-year-old former gang member with a faux hawk waited at a recent high school football practice to approach Coach  Ted Ginn, who is known for producing elite college and professional players. He did not want to join the team. The teenager wanted to enroll at the public school Ginn founded to give at-risk boys enough care, structure and education to succeed. Ginn suggested that the aspiring freshman, Joseph Williams, get a haircut and meet him in his office the next morning. Williams shaved his head and rode his bike four miles to the school. “I’m still young,” he told Ginn and the school’s principal, Byron Lyons. “I still have a chance.” After spending 21 days in jail with men facing life sentences, he said, he no longer wanted to be in “that other life.”

"REBRANDING" VIEWS OF YOUNG BLACK MALES

The Campaign for Black Male Achievement looks at black men and boys not as problems to be fixed but as individuals with potential.
By Alex Daniels, The Chronicle of Philanthropy January 26, 2015

Beginning in February, the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, a program based at the Open Society Foundations since 2008, will be spun off from the foundation and operate as a separate organization.

The change reflects the growing national interest in programs aimed at helping young black men.

Edited by:
Ben Jealous and Trabian Shorters / Foreword by: Russell Simmons
In this timely and important collection of personal essays, black men from all walks of life share their inspiring stories and ultimately how each, in his own way, became a source of hope for his community and country.

Reach includes forty first-person accounts from well-known men like the Rev. Al Sharpton, John Legend, Isiah Thomas, Bill T. Jones, Louis Gossett, Jr., and Talib Kweli, alongside influential community organizers, businessmen, religious leaders, philanthropists, and educators. These remarkable individuals are living proof that black men are as committed as ever to ensuring a better world for themselves and for others.

Powerful and indispensable to our ongoing cultural dialogue, Reach explodes myths about black men by providing rare, candid, and deeply personal insights into their lives. It’s a blueprint for better community engagement. It’s an essential resource for communities everywhere.

Proceeds from the sale of Reach will go to BMe Community, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building caring and prosperous communities inspired by black men. Reach is also a Project of the Kapor Center for Social Impact, one of the founding supporters of President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative.

How Do You Quantify Hope for Black Men and Boys?
Shawn Dove is manager of the Open Society Campaign for Black Male Achievement.

How do you quantify hope? I’ve been asking myself this question recently in my role leading the Open Society Campaign for Black Male Achievement. The question increasingly presses on my heart and mind during this current moment of intensified focus on the disparities facing black men and boys in America, particularly with the increased demand for evidenced-based outcomes and for lifting up what truly works...READ MORE

The Lasting Campaign for Black Male Achievement
