Nourish hope in Black male students to make way for their potential for brilliance in science.

Too often the talents of Black male students aren't fully recognized or reflected in traditional measures of engagement and achievement in science education. Until now, the research on supporting these students has been insufficient, leaving educators searching for ways to tap into Black male's curiosity and insight. This groundbreaking book fills that gap by introducing Hope Theory as a framework for understanding how Black males perceive and maintain hope in science classrooms and how hope leads to greater agency and enhanced performance in science. Through the lens of pathways thinking (cognitive strategies) and agency thinking (goal-directed determination), Dr. Woolfolk reveals how teachers can intentionally cultivate hope to dramatically improve academic outcomes. Drawing from extensive research and real classroom experiences, this book addresses the urgent need for practical strategies that build on Black males′ strengths.
