Division H Vice-Presidential Invited Session: Do African American Male Students Still Lag Behind Given the Multiplicity of Changes in Programs, Policies, and Practices?

Session Type: Invited Session

Abstract

Educational research seeks specifically to understand educational processes with the aim of improving student learning. For the last 40 years, much of this research has been aimed at closing the achievement gap between White students and students of color. Yet, despite this ongoing research, and resulting policy and practice changes, African-American male students still lag behind in every major measure of educational achievement. This panel brings together preeminent scholars on the education of African-American male students, to discuss, from a variety of methodological perspectives, to what extent the power of educational research has been harnessed to improve education for African-American male students.
