Abstract

ABSTRACTPrepare2Nspire (P2N) is a near-peer mentoring and tutoring program dedicated to creating dynamic mathematical experiences for urban learners. P2N’s mission is multi-fold. The program acts as an extracurricular outlet for in-school mathematics learning, providing students of color with social support from adult mentors. Additionally, P2N aligns education and community development by focusing on social and institutional improvements in the host neighborhood. This paper used case study methodology to examine African American male mentoring relationships at P2N. Through a mentoring and tutoring approach, middle school participants related to adult mentors through shared lived experiences, essential norms were enforced within the learning community, and emphasis was given to team collaboration. Moving forward, P2N will continue to promote African American male mentorship to disrupt deficit-based perspectives and increase social and academic motivations of African American youth.KEYWORDS: MathematicsMentoringCommunity engagementUrban education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

我兄弟的守护者:非裔美国男性之间师徒关系的案例研究

摘要P2N (prepare2nspire)是一个致力于为城市学习者创造动态数学体验的近同伴指导和辅导计划。P2N的使命是多重的。该项目作为学校数学学习的课外出口，为有色人种学生提供成人导师的社会支持。此外，P2N将教育和社区发展结合起来，重点关注所在社区的社会和制度改善。本文采用案例研究方法，对P2N的非裔美国男性师徒关系进行了研究。通过指导和辅导的方法，中学参与者通过分享生活经验与成人导师建立联系，在学习社区内执行基本规范，并强调团队合作。展望未来，P2N将继续推广非裔美国男性导师，以打破以赤字为基础的观点，增加非裔美国青年的社会和学术动机。关键词:数学、教育、社区参与、城市教育披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。
