PROMOTING THE ACHIEVEMENT OF CULTURALLY DIVERSE YOUNG MALES
MID-ATLANTIC EQUITY CENTER ANNUAL REGIONAL CONFERENCE
What unique challenges do African American and Latino males face as they prepare for their future lives? What can we, as educators, parents, administrators, mental health professionals, and policymakers do to increase their achievement? And most importantly, what can state departments of education, school districts, and schools do to support the highest level of achievement among African American and Latino males?

This conference will be divided into two tracks: 1) psychological and social factors that influence achievement; and, 2) effective policies and practices that support the achievement of boys. Several programs will be highlighted that help to raise the achievement of boys in school.
