National Alliance of Black School Educators
|
Posted By: Jehan Bunch on July 09, 2007 Get to know the National Alliance of Black School Educators Did you know that black men today make up 41 percent of the inmates in federal state, and local prisons; but make up only 4 percent of all students in American institutions of higher learning? Did you know that the African Americans have a high school drop out rate is twice that of white students? Did you know that African American boys represent only 9 percent of the total student enrollment in public schools, yet in the category of mental retardation their enrollment percentage is more than double (20%)? These startling statistics CANNOT stand. The National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE) is attempting to address these issues and more. NABSE is the nation’s premiere African American non-profit organization devoted to furthering the academic success for the nation’s children - particularly children of African descent. Now in its 37th year, NABSE boasts a nationwide network of 115 state and local affiliates and an outreach to more than 10,000 teachers, administrators, superintendents, parents, students, higher education professionals, school districts and corporate partners. Founded in 1970, NABSE is dedicated to improving both the educational experiences and accomplishments of African American youth. NABSE strives to meet its goals by providing professional development and networking opportunities to its members and conducting extensive research in order to identify and deploy instructional and motivational methods that will better equip our educators as they face today’s many educational and social challenges. NABSE PROGRAMS NABSE offers a vast array of professional development and information sharing programs that offer hands-on learning opportunities for its growing membership of concerned educators. NABSE Annual Conference: Held every November, this event attracts more than 3,500 conferees for four days of inspiring plenary sessions, roundtable discussions, school tours, informative presentations, educational workshops addressing best practices and exposure to more than 300 vendors of educational products and services. National Education Policy Institute (NEPI): An intensive two-day conference held every spring in Washington, D.C., NEPI addresses critical issues in education that impact African American educators and students. Attendees meet on Capitol Hill for a legislative update from Congressional members and later convene in smaller breakout sessions with state and federal education officials, researchers, White House staffers and others to develop strategies and recommendations to assist NABSE in its mission. The M.E.N. PROJECT: Is a program that creates activities that will Mentor, Educate and Nurture African American young males so that they may become productive and positive adults. The signature event of The M.E.N. PROJECT is the African American Youth Male Leadership Summit (AAYMLS). This event, co-sponsored by Kentucky State University, convenes over 100 African American young males in grades 8-10 over the course of a weekend to discuss issues such as conflict resolution, financial responsibility, career exploration and living a balanced life.
