Elevating Mathematics Achievement Outcomes for Black Boys: Guidance for Practitioners, Policymakers, and Researchers
Theory Into Practice, v62 n4 p420-430 2023
School-aged Black boys are mathematically gifted; however, they are often underserved vis-à-vis their mathematics education. In this article, we provide guidance for multiple stakeholders to support and elevate high-quality mathematics learning opportunities for Black male youth. In doing so, we begin by engaging W. E. B. Du Bois' storytelling. We then offer BlackCrit as a theoretical frame to enrich evidence-based work regarding Black mathematics teachers and culturally relevant pedagogy. We also advocate for the establishment of "grow-your-own" programs given the strong links to Black male achievement as well as the critical need for continuous federal funding in service to Black boys' mathematics education. We conclude with a summary of the guidance provided to bolster school-aged Black boys' mathematics achievement outcomes.
