Maryland Task Force Report

This helpful and thorough report created by Maryland’s Taskforce on Achieving Academic Equity and Excellence for Black Boys provides evidence-based recommendations to improve outcomes for Maryland’s black boys which can also be applied across broader populations.

 

From the report:

 

“The Task Force on Achieving Academic Equity and Excellence for Black Boys was convened to explore these inequities and develop a set of evidence-based recommendations and strategies to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for Black boys in Maryland’s schools. The recommendations are intended to be practical, feasible, meaningful, reasonable, justifiable, and actionable. They will also require engagement of multiple stakeholders – students, parents, teachers, administrators, schools and school districts, legislators, citizens at-large as well as business, community, and religious leaders. Moreover, there must be consistent monitoring and accountability to ensure that the recommendations are implemented with fidelity and lead to more positive outcomes.”
