District leaders with a 50,000-foot view will not have a substantial impact unless they are connected to the ground and rooted in practice. Teachers can find hands-on advice for reaching and teaching this generation with a pedagogy of patience. Perhaps the greatest result is the sheer beauty of collective willpower. Altogether, a community of educators, elders, young people, superintendents, scholars, policy makers, and parents are joining hands to interrupt patterns of underachievement. Together we are making the vision for an MDP into a reality! Succeed

The AAMA is continuing to expand the Manhood Development Program into other schools, and is connecting the curriculum to college entrance requirements. All OUSD teachers interested in effectively reaching and teaching African American children and youth are being welcomed to participate in the AAMA communities of practice and workshop modules. The four cornerstones moving forward: Developing our sons’ creative intelligence, practicing a pedagogy of patience, fostering partnerships with purpose and maintaining visionary leadership. Succeed
