OVERVIEW

The path to adulthood can be especially difficult for many middle‐ and high‐school‐aged young men of color. They are more likely to grow up in poverty, live in unsafe neighborhoods, and go to under‐resourced schools—all of which affect their lifelong health and well‐being. What is at stake for America is the possibility of losing an entire generation of productive men who will fall short of their potential, live less healthy lives, and fail to build and strengthen their communities.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides PreK-12 educators with strategies and approaches that can be used to foster enhanced learning among Black and Latino boys.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Access to a computer with an internet connection.
  • Fluent/advanced level of English required.

COURSE DURATION

You will have 30 days to complete each of the 4 modules of this training. Each module requires a 3-4 hour commitment (including lectures, discussion boards, readings).

WHAT'S IN THE COURSE?

The professional development program on Teaching Boys and Young Men of Color is designed to enhance the preparedness of faculty, advisors, student service officers, and other support staff in the community college to facilitate success among college men of color.

HELP YOUNG BOYS AND MEN OF COLOR FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

The path to adulthood can be especially difficult for many middle‐ and high‐school‐aged young men of color. They are more likely to grow up in poverty, live in unsafe neighborhoods, and go to under‐resourced schools—all of which affect their lifelong health and well‐being. What is at stake for America is the possibility of losing an entire generation of productive men who will fall short of their potential, live less healthy lives, and fail to build and strengthen their communities.
