Our Active Minds Chapter at Morgan State University was definitely created out of necessity. Prior to the creation of the chapter at Morgan State – one of the nation’s historically Black universities (or HBCUs) – there were no student-led organizations dedicated to addressing mental health on campus.

The title of this post is really a misnomer. That’s because I don’t believe luck has anything to do with leadership. Someone may luck their way into a leadership position but they must earn the opportunity to truly lead. They especially earn the level of influence they have with the people they lead. One of the most Authentic Leaders I’ve ever known would tell you a lucky seat assignment on a plane changed the course of his career.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Virginia discusses different concepts and the individuality of happiness and if there is a one-sentence answer to the question "What is happiness"? - Virginia Just a few minutes ago I was asked what happiness is for me. Normally I am the great question master. always ahead with the next question, the next concept in mind.

I used to do a lot of Goal Setting workshops for older kids with special needs. These were primarily high school age kids that for a variety of reasons were no longer able to go to school in the mainstream public education system. I was asked to do a Goal Setting session for one class and it went well enough that it turned into a long-term thing. While I was never paid for any of this work I was richly rewarded.

Why aren’t there more Black male teachers? I recently attended a forum where this question was posed. I contend that a lack of intergenerational wealth transfers due to the historic exclusion of Blacks from many wealth building opportunities is a primary reason why there aren’t more Black male teachers. This along with the societal expectations of men needing to be the “breadwinners” for families deter many men from desiring to go into areas where there is a perceived lack of bread to win.
