From Black Boys to Men in a Multiyear STEM Education Intervention and Mixed Methods Research Project
Conceptualizing a community-based model that enhances the recruitment, engagement, and transition to STEM teaching roles for Black male students while retaining and advancing Black male teachers is critical to addressing their significant and historically disproportionate representation in teaching careers. The project explores systemic barriers that dissuade Black male students from pursuing STEM majors and takes a strength-focused approach to fostering a critical mass of Black male STEM teachers.
