What is Your Goal?

Approximately 25 participants will attend a rich array of monthly webinars, meeting with nationally recognized experts to discuss a range of topics, and continue their conversations through an online portal (courtesy of a generous donation by the National Association of Educators). Monthly discussion topics include:

November	Perception versus Reality:  Managing your brand as a Black Male Educator in the historically non-diverse United States school system.
December	Overcoming Stereotypes:  Managing common stereotypes that attach themselves to Black Male educators in various levels of the school system.
January	Professional Excellence:  What are the hallmarks of professionalism in practice and behavior within a schoolhouse, school system and larger community?
February	Honing Your Craft:  Ways to deepen your content and pedagogical knowledge throughout your professional career.
March	Honing Your Craft: Ways to deepen your content and pedagogical knowledge throughout your professional career
April	Lessons from the Bottom:  What happens when your career takes a wrong turn or careens out of control? How can you get back on track?
May	Raising Great Students: What are our responsibilities as educators in attending to the social-emotional and psychological realities of the students we teach?
June	My Brother's Keeper:  What are our responsibilities as educators to mentoring younger Black male teachers (pre-service or early years)? How can we bring along more Black Male Educators into the pipeline, so that our schools see more representation?
