Teaching programs for black males

When children are consigned to learn in aging school buildings in overcrowded classrooms that lack even basic resources—like textbooks, supplies, computers and technology—it tells children their education and future are not a priority.

Those differences and inequities create challenges and disadvantages that can be difficult to overcome, Preston explains. Helping his students, 99 percent of whom are African American, understand and overcome those systemic shortcomings begins with telling them the truth. Building confidence—especially in Black and Brown students—is essential to teaching and learning at every level of the education system, says Derryn Moten, PhD, a professor and chair of the history department at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama.

Moten says he tries to pass along the lessons of strength and pride he learned from his parents and during his years as a student at Howard University, another HBCU.

And to me, the first order of respect is to respect yourself. One of the toughest lessons Black male educators sometimes have to teach echoes the lecture that generations of Black parents have given their children.

Lee cuny. The addition of culturally competent peer mentoring into a program built to address the severe under-representation of men of color in well-paying jobs in the fields of nursing, health information management, health services administration and medical coding will strengthen our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion in healthcare.

The benefit of broadening access into professional degree programs in health care fields with strong earnings and advancement potential for Black, Latino and AAPI men is a largely unrealized economic mobility and equity strategy; the added importance of diversifying the heath care and health information fields as a means of achieving another goal—narrowing gaps in health care disparities through the inclusion of talent with experiences, competencies and perspectives overwhelmingly underrepresented in these fields is of urgent importance.
