Black and Latino Male Achievement

Calling all MPS High School Humanities Teachers!!!

We are hosting our first “Culturally Responsive Collaborations Workshop” on July 27th and 28th and we would like to personally invite MPS High School Humanities Teachers. The goal of this collaboration workshop is to get teachers from across the district to not only collaborate with one another around incorporating more culturally relevant practices into their lessons, but to also collaborate with students from across the district to really allow for student voice. 

Each session will be PAID!!!

Who we are

Milwaukee Public Schools recognizes that Black and Latino boys and young men face unique challenges in school, career, and life. The Department of Black and Latino Male Achievement (BLMA) was established in 2017 and focuses on supports specifically tailored to increase success for Black and Latino males in MPS.

The important work of uplifting Black and Latino young men in MPS is grounded in three areas.

• Improving culture, climate, and communication in MPS schools
• Writing a positive narrative of our students’ successes and accomplishments
• Connecting young men to teachers, mentors, and leaders with shared backgrounds who have achieved personal triumphs

Mission

The Department of Black & Latino Male Achievement collaboratively works to improve the outcomes of Black and Latino male students within Milwaukee Public Schools by challenging systems, structures, and spaces of oppression, and seeks to create conditions that promote greater success.

Vision

Black and Latino boys and young men will possess an affirmed sense of identity, dignity, and self-confidence, and will have the necessary tools to triumphantly navigate K–12, college, career, and life.
