| Abstract: |
This study provided information that contributes to the body of knowledge significant to the field of study of the underrepresentation of African American male educators in public urban schools. The findings revealed the lack of representation of African American male educators removes teaching as a potential career choice for African American male students. Boosting African American male representation has to begin with initiatives to increase African American students' interest in the profession and incentives to attract new graduates. The findings of this study illustrated the possibility of insight into how to recruit and retain African American male teachers that added to both practice and scholarship.
