Key Findings/Next Steps
• On multiple indicators, most students perceive that the MDP class adds value to their lives.
• Cultivating creative intelligence means students can help solve societies greatest ills.
• This is not just about Black people, per se, but society as a whole. Every time a student disassociates from school, society experiences larger casualties.
• Given today's environment, the classroom can—and must—take on new meaning.

• District leaders with a 50,000-foot view will not have a substantial impact unless they are connected to the ground and rooted in practice.
• Teachers can find hands-on advice for reaching and teaching this generation with a pedagogy of patience.
• Perhaps the greatest result is the sheer beauty of collective willpower. Altogether, a community of educators, elders, young people, superintendents, scholars, policy makers, and parents are joining hands to interrupt patterns of underachievement. Together we are making the vision for an MDP into a reality!

• The AAMA is continuing to expand the Manhood Development Program into other schools, and is connecting the curriculum to college entrance requirements.
