Based on the presenter's own published study, this workshop explores the positive and negative influences of teacher behavior on the academic success of African American males, as reported by the students themselves. Through small group discussion, video clips, and discovery, participants will actively explore the various theories that attempt to explain the pervasive academic achievement gap, and then identify specific management skills and practices that African American males stated were most effective for their academic success. This dynamic presentation will benefit teachers, parents, and administrators who desire to increase the attendance, engagement, and academic achievement of their African American male students. Additionally, workshop attendees will learn to how to "connect" with their audience and leave with new ideas, strategies and mindsets that lead to effective classroom management practices.
