"We believe the W.E.B. Du Bois Society's strategy of increasing African-American students’ engagement in and commitment to learning is a strong complement to Teach For America's drive to reform education."
The W.E.B. Du Bois Society has experienced exponential growth and demonstrated significant impact in a relatively short period of time. Some of our proudest accomplishments to-date include:
In the pilot of our 90+Celebration program, we have engaged three new public schools to celebrate and reward academic ambition in Atlanta elementary, middle and high schools.
Nearly 300 students have been inspired to pursue academic achievement and were celebrated for demonstrating the behaviors associated with academic success -- such as showing up prepared for class, actively participating in classroom discussion, joining or starting study groups and assuming responsibility for completing homework.
We have hosted more than 100 student events, competitions and trainings that equip students with the skills they need to succeed in the classroom. This translates to success outside of the classroom.
Hundreds of students in public schools are publicly recognized and rewarded for their personal effort, progress, and achievement
In four years, the W.E.B. Du Bois Society is proud to have selected nearly 150 students as W.E.B. Du Bois Scholars to honor and celebrate their outstanding academic performance.
The program has a 100% record of effectively transitioning high school graduates into the colleges and universities of their choice, including some of nations most elite institutions.
Students' attitudes and behaviors are strongly impacted by peer-centered experiences.
Through our media partnerships and recognition programs, we have spotlighted hundreds of elementary, middle and high school students for their personal effort, improvement in a math or science-based subject, and for overall sustained excellence.
Our celebration of their success takes place in schools and on radio and television programs that reach hundreds of thousands of young African-Americans in the Atlanta area.
