Nathaniel Bryan, a Miami University assistant professor of teacher education, says these are not the failures of most students, but rather due to a school system that fails to understand and meet their academic and social needs. On this episode, we discuss Nathaniel Bryan\u2019s upcoming book,  Toward A Black Boy Crit Pedagogy - Black Boys, Male Teachers, and Early Childhood Classroom Practices, the dire need for more black male teachers, and the importance of culturally relevant teaching, as well as a new high school program designed encourage more students of color to become teachers.
