The Twiggs County Play
Tuesday October 8, 2024 10:15am - 11:15am EDT
CSU Harry S. Downs Continuing Ed Center
Supporting the success of Black male students in educational settings requires the implementation of evidence-based practices tailored to their unique needs and challenges. In rural Georgia, particularly in Twiggs County, these students face additional barriers due to low socio-economic status and limited opportunities. To effectively support them, evidence-based strategies must be combined with intentional partnerships and inclusive experiences.
Twiggs County Public Schools exemplifies this approach through several key initiatives:
1. Strategic Hiring: Focusing on mentorship and coaching by bringing in educators who can serve as role models.
2. High Expectations: Cultivating a sense of district pride and setting ambitious academic and personal goals.
3. Personalized Learning and Academic Rigor: Offering customized educational plans and curriculum resources that challenge and engage students.
4. College and Career Readiness Partnerships: Collaborating with institutions and organizations to prepare students for post-secondary success.
5. Access to Extracurricular Activities and Leadership Opportunities: Providing avenues for students to explore interests and develop leadership skills.
6. Family and Community Engagement: Encouraging active participation and support from families and the broader community.
These comprehensive strategies are designed to create a supportive and empowering educational environment for Black male students.
