Increasing Enrollment of African-American Males in Advanced High School Mathematics and Science Courses, is an action research that highlights barriers that contribute to the disparity and increasing achievement gap between students of color and their counterparts of other ethnicities. Dr. Macauley provides a framework through which a K-12 institution can objectively examine and address systemic factors that impede the equity and access in the representation of students of color in the STEM pipeline. To counter the plethora of deficit-focused research, he addresses the need for pragmatic solutions through effective teaching that is relevant, high levels of student engagement that is challenging, and support that provides strategic interventions and on-going mentorships. > Key Search Terms: academic, accommodations, achievement expectations, achievement gaps, advanced mathematics, advanced placement, advanced science, African-American, Algebra, AP calculus, bias, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program, classroom practices, collaborative action research, contributing factors, coping skills, counselors, cultural equity, cultural identity, cultural sensitivity, cultural strengths, disadvantaged youths, educational system, ethnic minorities, family communication, global competitiveness, guidance-counseling, honors courses, inductive thematic analysis, Institutional Review Board (IRB), instructional approach, instructional strategies, intervention strategies, language development, male bonding, management principles, marginalized youth, mathematics, mentor-mentee program, mentoring, methodology, parent involvement, pedagogy, pre-calculus, professional growth, racism, remedial courses, Rites of Passage Program (ROP), S.T.E.M.
