Call Me MISTER!

About the Call Me MISTER! Program

Fall 2007 marked the inception of the College of Charleston's School of Education, Health, and Human Performance’s “Call Me MISTER” Teacher Recruitment Program. “MISTER” in this case signifies Men Instructing Students Toward Effective Role modeling.

The “Call Me MISTER” program addresses the critical shortage of African American male teachers - particularly among South Carolina's lowest performing schools.  The project provides:

• Tuition assistance for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study at participating colleges.
• An academic support system to help assure their success, and
• A cohort system for social and cultural support.

“Call Me MISTER” was developed by South Carolina’s visionary educational leaders who sincerely believe we can build a better tomorrow by getting you involved today.
