The Black Male Teachers College (BMTC) and Early Middle College is a virtual-hybrid program for Black male students in the 8th grade who are interested in or plan to become a STEAM teacher. This program aims to shed light on the experiences, perspectives, and practices that support Black males' development, persistence, and educational achievement leading to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related content courses, majors and careers. Black male 8th grade students who have not considered becoming a teacher but are willing to learn more should apply to participate in the program.
The program will also provide young men with knowledge of being a:
