The Men of Cherrydale:
Beating the Odds and Breaking the Mold
|
|
The national average of male teachers in most
school districts throughout the country is around two-percent or less. The
percentages for minority male teachers are much lower. Cherrydale Elementary
School, a Title I funded school, located in Greenville, South Carolina is
beating the odds and breaking the mold in both areas. Cherrydale Elementary
is well-above most school districts in finding and employing male teachers and
male minority teachers. Cherrydale Elementary currently has fifteen males on
staff. Twelve of the fifteen males have a direct impact with students and
student achievement. Fifty percent of these twelve are minority male
role-models.
