Abstract | As the nation's high school student population becomes increasingly diverse, the lack of minority teachers, particularly African American male teachers, is a concern. This case study of African American male high school teachers in a mid-sized market in the Midwest sought to identify the motivations for teaching, the barriers prior to and during teaching, and the roles these individuals are asked to fill in their schools. Ten individuals participated in semi-structured interviews for which critical race theory served as the theoretical framework. By expanding the conversation on race and racism within the educational system, this research sought to expose what injustices African American male teachers experience, not only during their time in school, but later during their careers as educators. This research gives voice to a silenced minority and increases our understanding to help us address the question, "Where are the Black men?" Finally, recommendations are offered to those serving in human resource administration positions in local school districts. (As Provided). |
