Robert Jackson presents: Becoming the Educator They Need: Mindsets and Strategies for Educating Black & Hispanic Males
Black and Latino Males are the most misunderstood, suspended and expelled students in K-12 Schools in the US. It’s important to understand the thought process of these young men in order to educate them more effectively. Many of these young men live in fear daily and it comes out in negative ways in their interactions at school. Never take it personal. This interactive session will give strategies to teach educators and administrators how to become the educator these young men need including affirming them, speaking positive words, teaching them to control emotions and how to turn hard skills into soft
skills. This session will address how young men are wired and the effects of being wired that way. Come join this fun session and learn techniques educators and administrators can use right away.
Robert Jackson began his teaching career almost 25 years ago in Indianapolis Public Schools with a No More Excuses teaching approach with all of his students after being cut from the NFL Minnesota Vikings. He has become one of the most sought-after speakers in the country, delivering keynote addresses and
workshops to educators, administrators, parents and students, corporate events and churches. He presents workshops on teaching cultural diversity, restorative practices, socio emotional learning, working with students who have experienced trauma and how to educate Black and Latino males. His goal is to teach educators and administrators how to use their power more effectively to Educate, Activate and Motivate all Students to be Successes.
