Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze college readiness for African American males. The study seeks to help nurture discussion to develop strategies that can support African American males entering college. Self-efficacy, resilience, and mentorship are factors that positively influence African American male student success. Mentorship experiences and its effects have long been proven to have a significant impact on the development of students of all ages. The goal is to examine articles and research in relation to college readiness towards African American males as well as to discuss the influences of critical race theory and educational policies to theorize why there is a statistically disproportionate phenomenon.
