What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

Graduating Males of Color

We know about the poor high school graduation rates, but this report looks at college graduates. It says that 50% of males of color ages 15-24 who graduate from high school end up unemployed, incarcerated or dead. Wow!

On the College Board site that has an initiative to examine the educational experiences of young men of color http://youngmenofcolor.collegeboard.org/home. It has some very interesting information.
