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.

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.”
