Dear Colleagues,
As promised, I am following up with more information about Dr. Eddie Moore’s visit to Charlotte next month prior to his professional development workshop with Trinity’s faculty and staff on February 20.
Please share the following information with your colleagues, heads, diversity directors, and your personal and professional contacts. The Impact Training/Book Signing on February 19 is sponsored by Anthony Calloway, Principal at Walter G. Byers Elementary School and it is open to the public. We’ll be following up soon with more promotional materials.
The Guide for White Women who Teach Black Boys
Please join us on February 19 at 6pm at West Charlotte High School, for an important discussion that will transform the next twenty-five years of educating black boys. We are all too familiar with the educational disparities along with the narratives that fuel them. We are moving beyond the negative and positively changing systems that support the educational outcomes of black boys.
65% of teachers are white women. Alone they can have a tremendous impact on outcomes. But together, we can shift they way black boys are seen and heard inside and outside of the classroom. The ultimate guidebook for educators and parents, public and private schools, and any organization that cares for and loves the inherent potential of black boys is here! On Monday, February 19, co-author/editor Eddie Moore Jr. and contributors Keisha Bentley-Edwards (Duke University) and Amber Bryant (UNC-Charlotte) will lead an interactive discussion and sign books afterwards. Dr. Moore received his PhD in Educational Policy and Leadership Studies at the University of Iowa. Dr. Moore is the founder of The Privilege Institute and The White Privilege Conference.
“There is no other instructional guide quite like The Guide for White Women who Teach Black Boys. While this book offers practical information and advice directly to the largest demographic of educators teaching one of the most marginalized populations of students, it transcends strategy and becomes a book of Black Critical Cultural Studies… Above all is a direct exploration into the ′dos,′ ′don’ts,′ ′why′s′ and ′how’s′ of culturally responsive teaching from expert teachers.”
-Dale Allender
“There is no judgement in this book. There is simply a clear scientific and social case—along with concrete instruction—for how education allies at the classroom, school, and system levels can effectively serve our children of color. ”
-Brittany Packnett Vice President, National Community Alliances Teach For America & Paul Keys Senior Vice President, Regional Operations Teach For America
Peace and Excellence,
Eddie Moore, Jr., PhD
