Abstract
This narrative inquiry was designed to understand how Black male students made sense of experiences with White female teachers, to expose educational hindrances, and to provide White female teachers ideas to better educate Black males. Three interviews were conducted with each of five Black males in an urban metro area. One interview was conducted with each of three White female teachers to add context. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed. Data was presented as a narrative profile of each Black male participant. Findings, reported as themes after in vivo and focused coding, included building positive relationships, embracing cultural responsiveness, learning from others, and working to reach ALL students. A discussion of each theme concluded the study to help teachers provide a classroom environment suited to more effectively educate Black males. Keywords: narrative profile, in vivo coding, focused coding, cultural responsiveness.
