Book School Counseling for Black Male Student Success in 21st Century Urban Schools

Download or read book School Counseling for Black Male Student Success in 21st Century Urban Schools written by Malik S. Henfield and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions and research related to the salience of Black male student needs and development in relation to their general success and well?being is well?documented in many fields. Indeed, many studies have found that healthy masculine identity development is associated with a number of positive outcomes for males in general, including Black males. In school counseling literature, however, this discussion has been relatively absent—particularly regarding those students living in urban contexts. Indeed, research devoted to the study of Black males in the school counseling literature focuses almost exclusively on race and issues associated with its social construction with only cursory, if any, attention given to their masculine identity development as a function of living in urban communities and attending urban schools. Based on this lack of information, it is probably a safe assumption that intentional, systematic, culturally relevant efforts to assist Black males in developing healthy achievement and masculine identities based on their unique personal, social, academic experiences and future career goals are not being applied by school counselors concerned with meeting students’ needs. School counselors are in a unique position, nonetheless, to lend their considerable expertise—insights, training and skills—to improving life outcomes among Black males—a population who are consistently in positions of risk according to a number of quality of life indicators. Without knowledge and awareness of Black males’ masculine identity development in urban areas, coupled with the requisite skills to influence the myriad factors that enhance and impede healthy development in such environments, they are missing out on tremendous opportunities which other professions appear to understand and, quite frankly, seem to take more seriously. As such, this book proposes to accomplish two specific goals: 1. Highlight the plight of Black males with specific emphasis on the ecological components of their lives in relation to current school culture and trends. 2. Encourage school counselors to give more thought to Black male identity development that takes into consideration differential experiences in society as a whole, and schools in particular, as a function of the intersection of their race, as well as their gender. The first rationale for this book, then, is to highlight the plight of Black males with specific emphasis on the ecological components of their lives in relation to current school culture and trends (e.g., standards?based accountability practices) in urban environments. However, I recognize the role of school counselors has never been fully integrated into educational reform programs. As such, their positions are often unregulated and determined by people in positions of power who do not understand their training, job?specific standards and, thus, potential impact on the lives of Black male students. As a result, their vast potential to develop strong interventions designed to address the myriad racial and masculine factors that serve to enhance and impede Black males’ academic achievement is often unrealized. Therefore, the second reason for this special issue is to include the scholarship of professional school counselors and counselor educators with policy change in mind. Scholars will be invited to contribute manuscripts that explore race, masculinity and academic achievement in relation to the role of school counselors. This is designed to encourage school counselors and counselor educators to give more thought to Black male identity development that takes into consideration differential experiences in society as a whole, and schools in particular, as a function of the intersection of their race, as well as their gender.

Book Counseling Across and Beyond Cultures

Download or read book Counseling Across and Beyond Cultures written by Rinaldo Walcott and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multicultural counseling is a dynamic field, one that continually changes to reflect shifting social norms and to serve an increasingly diverse and globalized population. There is a growing need for counselors and psychotherapists who are sensitive and inclusive not only in regard to race, culture, and ethnicity, but also in matters related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, and class. Inspired by the pioneering work of Clemmont E. Vontress, the contributors to Counseling across and beyond Cultures trace the evolution of multicultural counseling and discuss remaining challenges for pratitioners. Essays include personal reflections by Vontress himself, assessments of developments in multicultural counseling, evaluations of Vontress's influence in Canada and the United Kingdom, and African and Caribbean perspectives on his work. Throughout, the volume offers historical, philosophical, and critical analysis of Vontress's accomplishments in the light of the changing epistemologies of multicultural counseling and psychotherapy.

Book College bound

Download or read book College bound written by Brenaia Alycia Blue and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project explores historical factors leading to inequities for African Americans in the United States education system still prevalent today. A review of the literature will address how academic performance can be harmed through racial microaggressions (i.e., subtle racial insults) (Solorzano et al., 2000) and stereotype threat (i.e., racial stereotypes effecting one's intellectual functioning and identity development) (Steele, 1997; Steele & Aronson, 1995, 1998). This project addresses Black male students who fall into an achievement gap in academic underachievement in comparison to White students. Reality therapy and choice theory in a group-based intervention for Black male high school students during their freshman year is presented. The principles of choice theory are taught to apply to students' decision-making, goal-setting, and evaluative processes for positive behavior change to support their academic success, acceptance and transition to higher education, and earning a college degree."--Abstract, p. 1.
