Strategic Moves: Defying the Anti-Black Male Playbook in Educational Systems and Society
Tuesday October 8, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
CSU Harry S. Downs Continuing Ed Center
In this invigorating 60-minute workshop, we'll tackle the pervasive narrative of the 'Anti-Black Male Playbook' that exists in both educational systems and broader society. We'll empower educators and mentors with strategic interventions to dismantle these narratives and construct robust support frameworks for Black boys. Participants will learn how to implement decolonized teaching methods and psychological strategies that advocate for the mental and emotional well-being of Black male students, countering the prevailing deficit discourse. By examining case studies and current research, we'll formulate a playbook of our own—one that writes resilience, success, and empowerment into the everyday experiences of Black boys. Prepare to be part of a vital shift, as we lay down the game plan for fostering environments where Black male students don't just survive but thrive.
