During 2012 NCAA March Madness, Gap In Graduation Rates between Black and White Men's Basketball Players Remains Wide

Black Star Logo
Ahead of Thursday's tipoff of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, a study has found anew that the gap in the graduation rate between white and black players remains wide.
 
The annual report, "Keeping Score When It Counts," by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at the University of Central Florida found a 28 percent difference between the graduation rates of white players compared to their black counterparts. The report found a four-point improvement from last year, but according to lead author Richard Lapchick the driving force behind the change was a decrease in the percentage of white players graduating.

Great National Conference
for Educating Boys of Color
 
Gathering of leaders.
Each year the quality of the professional learning workshops at the Gathering of Leaders gets stronger.  This year is no exception. Sixteen workshops selected from nearly 60 proposals are available for registered participants to sign up for.
 
These workshops are relevant to educators from the early childhood to high school level and illuminate the Gathering's theme, "Great Schools Are Not an Accident: Successful Learning Communities for Boys and Young Men of Color." Each workshop will engage the participants in interactive, practical, and COSEBOC Standard referenced activity. They will also provide all participants with ideas, tools, and strategies to advance their work with boys and young men of color.
 
Gathering participants will attend two workshops, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Descriptions and expectations for each workshop are now posted on the COSEBOC website.

Concerned Christian Men Mentor and Feed 300 Boys with Monthly Man/Boy Breakfast
Black Star Logo
The Concerned Christian Men (CCM) was founded in October 1996 by George D. Glenn, a Harvard-educated native Chicagoan (graduate of Senn High School). CCM's initial and continuing focus has been to provide strong "Black Male" leadership and guidance to young Black boys living on the South Side of Chicago to assist them in becoming positive, contributing members of their communities.

CCM's Flagship activity is the monthly Man-Boy Breakfast that over 29,000 men and boys have attended since 1996 (140 breakfasts). Since April 2002 the breakfasts are held at Simeon Career Academy, a state-of-the-art vocational and academic high school. We average over 300 men and boys for our Man-Boy breakfasts.
 
 
 
 
Parents Are Building Organizations
to Help Educate their Children
 
 
Whether they're organizing events, buttonholing legislators, or simply trading ideas and information, a growing number of "parent unions" are attempting to stake out a place in policy debates over education in states and districts, amid a crowded field of actors and advocates.
 
As the term implies, some of these organizations see themselves as countering the political might of teachers' unions, though others see the labor groups as allies. Still other parents' unions are less concerned with teacher and labor-management issues than with advancing their own tightly focused-or very broad-agendas. Those agendas include improving school gifted-and-talented programs, for instance, and closing achievement gaps between minority and white students.
