Originally Broadcast on March 1, 2010 • $199
60-Minute Recording of Audio Online Seminar
The declining graduation rate of black males is a national problem and getting worse. The current high school graduation rate for black males hovers around the 50% mark according to the Open Society Institute’s Campaign for Black Male Achievement. This trend can be reversed with the commitment of educators who can influence these young men and encourage them to succeed.
Inside the School’s seminar Breaking Barriers: How Teachers Can Help Black Males Achieve presents practical applications educators can use to reach out and help school-aged African-American males succeed.
Presenter Dr. Ivory Toldson reviews the findings from national surveys and explains how they can be used as classroom solutions. His research discusses the importance of personal, emotional, social and school factors and how those factors impacts academic success for black males.
Toldson discusses a first-hand experience an educator had on him as a student and how that teacher steered him on a path to academic success. Toldson reviews the importance of building relationships with students and gives advice on how to act as a long-term guide to them.
