Theoretical Framework OtherMothering Similarly, Strayhorn et al (2008) undertook the task of looking at African American student relationships with faculty of color and the benefits of these relationships. Through the author’s exploration, the theoretical framework of “Othermothering” emerged (Strayhorn et al, 2008). According to Strayhorn et al (2008), Othermothering is a pattern of care that dates back to slavery, where mothers had to entrust the care of their children to other individuals. This

Majority of the studies reviewed based on data collected from research studies showed that there’s definitely a correlation between low literacy skills and prison. The research articles focused on the low literacy skill sets for African Americans, specifically African American Males.

I believe

in jails and prisons is overwhelming. In 2010, African-American males were 6 times more likely than white males to be in jails and prisons as there were 678 white male inmates per 100,000 and 4,347 black male males per 100,000 locked away (Drake, 2013). This is up from 1960, when black males were 5 times more likely to be incarcerated (Drake, 2013). The ratio in the juvenile criminal justice system is not any better as in 2011, “African-American youths were 160% more likely to have been referred

Depression is a very hard task to deal with as it is a illness that just doesn’t go away after time. Mental Illness is very prevalent amongst men especially amongst african american youths. The high school to college era of their live is very influential and has the ability to really affect their personality.

Now, in today society the African American community is looked upon as being deviant and having no family structure. The author at McGraw- Hill textbook publishing has failed to acknowledge that Africans were exploited for labor. Many individual have wondered what the America economy would like if slavery did not exist. From an historical perspective, the United

believe will enhance the lives and future prospects of African American male young adults. But how can they be sure that their program is having the intended impacts? How can funders and policy makers ensure that their investments in programs are paying off in substantially improved outcomes for these youth and their communities? In order to determine which strategies providers should implement to effectively serve the needs of African American young adults, I sought evidence based research recommendations

Conceptual Paper Chapter I: Statement of the Problem The Disproportionate number of African American Boys in Special Education Shaheed Ahmad Clark Atlanta University Introduction There is a disproportionate number than average of African American boys in special education. Research shows that in 2000 African American boys make up 9 percent of student enrollment in the public schools; however, in the area of special education their enrollment numbers doubled 20 percent (Adkison-Bradley, Johnson

article “’Eagles Don’t Fly with Sparrows”: Self-Determination Theory, African American Male Scholar-Athletes and Peer Group Influences on Motivation” by Carlton Harrison, Brandon Martin, and Rhema Fuller (2015). These authors conducted research to denounce the preconceived notion that African American male athletes does not value academic achievement. This study was designed to explore the academic experience of the African American male scholar- athletes, their academic motivation to succeed, the role

is meeting the academic needs of African American boys. Teachers rarely connect with the black male culture, which results in high referral rates to special education. This oversight is problematic because, for the most part, the resources available in remedial education programs are insufficient. In this way, educators have failed to meet the needs of African American males. Teachers must start to teach themselves as well as their students about the African American culture so as to increase their
