Do you know any Black Males who are in senior high school who wants to go to
|
|
college out of state for FREE? Black colleges are looking for future black male teachers
and will send them to universities/college for 4 years FREE.
The Call Me MISTER program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African American male teachers
particularly among South Carolina's lowest performing schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served,
socio-economically
|
disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.
The Call Me MISTER program is contributing to the talent pool of excellent teachers by identifying and supporting young men
like Mr. Mark Joseph (shown here), who are literally "touching the future" by teaching children. Mark's teaching degree was made
possible through the Call Me MISTER program.
The "Call Me MISTER" program is a collaboration between Clemson University, private, historically black colleges
(Benedict College, Claflin University, and Morris College) and two-year technical colleges to recruit, train, certify and secure employment
for minority males as elementary teachers in the public schools of South Carolina. An essay entitled, "Why I Want To Teach,"
which will address the student's motivation for entering the teaching profession and the contributions he hopes to make to the
profession and to the community as a teacher.
Following the submission of the items above, an interview will be scheduled with prospective program participants to ascertain
their potential for teaching and their motivations for participation in the program, as well as to provide an opportunity for
clarification of any information submitted through the application process.
The Call Me MISTER program combines the special strengths and resources of Clemson University with the individualized
instructional programs offered by four historically black colleges in South Carolina: Benedict College, Claflin University,
Morris College and South Carolina State University. To provide even greater opportunity and access, students have the option
of first attending one of our two-year partner colleges before transferring to one of the four-year institutions to complete
their baccalaureate degree. In addition, the project has limited enrollment in the middle school Master of Art in Teaching program.
