Summary:

How do we transform the leaky educational pipeline into a conduit of success for Black males? That the issue is critical is demonstrated by the statistics that only 10% of Black males in the United States are proficient in 8th grade reading, only 52% graduate from high school within four years, and only 35% graduate from college. This book uniquely examines the trajectory of Black males through the educational pipeline from preschool through college. In doing so it both contributes significantly to the scholarship on the experiences of this population and bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide frameworks and models that will improve these young men's educational outcomes throughout their academic journeys. Throughout, the contributing authors focus on the strategies and experiences of Black males who achieve academic excellence, examining growth-producing and asset-based practices that can be sustained and that build upon the recognition that these males have agency and possess qualities such as resilience that are essential to their learning and development. The frameworks and models that conclude each chapter are equally commendable to K-12 educators and administrators; higher education faculty, student affairs practitioners, and administrators; and policymakers, for whom templates are provided for rectifying the continuing inequities of our educational system.
