This week's segments:

Segment 1 | This week we discuss the cultural divide that exists in our schools.

Segment 2 | This episode focuses on Portsmouth School Board Member Cardell Patillo’s Male Leadership Academy. It was created to help young African American Males succeed in school and life.

Segment 3 | This episode of Educationally Speaking continues the conversation of Educating Our Black Boys. We speak with Dr. Donna Elliot, Assistant Principal at Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach. She says that a shifting demographic towards greater diversity in the school division was the catalyst for increased cultural awareness in the classroom. Schools need to be aware that not all students fit a singular mold and there needs to be an understanding towards the needs of kids from different backgrounds.

Segment 4 | Another View Producer Lisa Godley investigates the Presidential Men’s Academy at Wilson High School. The program, which was founded by teachers Curtis Williams and Paul Wilson, offers mentoring and academic support for about three dozen students.

 

Listen to the show on WHRV 89.5 FM Monday – Thursday at 6:33 a.m. throughout the month of March, or listen live online.
