“…African American males have been recognized as an endangered species in higher education (Gilkey, 2012;Jackson, 2014;Washington, 2013). In fact, Dyce (2013) declared lack of participation among African American males as the most important issue facing American higher education today.…”

Online education is expanding within higher education. However, attrition rates for African American males enrolled in higher education in general, and in online courses specifically, is on the rise. Because the future of our nation depends on how well our educational institutions develop, nurture, and deploy talent, an investigation was conducted to identify factors that promoted online course completion among African American male undergraduate students. Ten males who successfully completed online courses were interviewed, and significant themes were identified. Factors that contributed to online course completion were financial assistance, prior academic achievement, previous information technology (IT) training, continuous academic enrollment, student selection of topics perceived as uncomplicated and less demanding or familiar due to sufficient prior knowledge, use of handheld digital devices, and a non-prejudicial learning environment. Based on these findings, recommendations are made that include strategies policymakers and educationists can implement to promote academic achievement and degree attainment among African American males in higher education.

Khan (2014) also documented a decrease in the percentage of White public elementary school teachers from 69.4% in 2002-2003to 61.3% in 2012-2013. As Bone (2011 also concluded, Khan (2014) determined that the diversity of Texas public elementary school teachers remained relatively unchanged, and mostly White, for the 11 school years of data which were analyzed.…”

In this longitudinal descriptive investigation, an analysis of the ethnic/racial diversity of teachers and of students in Texas public elementary schools from the 2010-2011 school year through the 2018-2019 school year was conducted. Descriptive statistics revealed decreases in the average percentages of White teachers and of White students in Texas public elementary school over 9 school years of data examined herein. The average percentages of Asian, Black, and Hispanic student and teachers increased from 2010-2011 to 2018-2019. Through comparisons of the ethnic/racial diversity of teachers and of students, clear disparities were evident. Higher percentages of White teachers were present than percentages of teachers of color and percentages of students of color. Implications for policy and for practice, as well as recommendations for future research, were discussed.

“…Although student school success has been a prominent topic in the literature, when attributed to Black males, the literature regrettably has focused on their failures and underachievement at multiple academic levels (Marsh & Noguera, 2018). Researchers mostly focus on the ideology that Black males consistently earn lower grades, have dismal test scores, and are disproportionately placed within special education classrooms (Miller-Dyce, 2013).…”

Black male students with dyslexia not proffered suitable accommodations may have their futures severely impacted by institutional barriers. Inappropriate interventions often lead to educational hardships despite students having educational prowess to achieve scholastically. This article addresses how school counselors, driven by the components of the American School Counselor Association’s ASCA National Model and ASCA Ethical Standards, can serve as advocates for Black males with dyslexia by championing evidence-based multitiered systems of support designed to provide ethically sound assessments and placements.
