Call Me MISTER

Call Me MISTER (CMM) prepares young men for impactful careers as elementary, middle, or high school teachers, providing resources and support that move them toward successfully securing positions in classrooms where they will positively impact the lives of their students.

“Call Me MISTER’s founding was rooted in the virtual absence of minority males in the teaching force in the early grades. It is at these grade levels that the importance of male role models is highest, particularly in minority communities.” — Dr. Maurice Carter, the Director of the CMM program at Longwood.

While the emphases on minority CMM participants and elementary education majors remain in place, the program is open to all male students who desire to pursue education in any subject or grade levels.
