This much-needed book will help schools, and by extension society,
better understand and identify the promise, potential, and
possibilities of Black boys. Drawing from their wealth of
experience in early childhood education, the authors present an
assets- and strength-based view of educating young African American
males. This positive approach enables practitioners and school
leaders to recognize, understand, and cultivate the diversity of
social skills of African American boys in the early grades
(pre-K-3rd grade). Each chapter begins with a vignette to
illustrate what is lost when African American boys are prevented
from participating freely in boyhood, having to instead attend to
adult and peer interactions and attitudes that view them as "bad
boys" and "troublemakers." This accessible book provides teachers
with classroom strategies to help young African American boys
achieve their highest potential, along with other resources for
supporting their social-emotional development, such as a reading
list of authentic multicultural children's books with Black boys as
protagonist.
