A Closer Look at “Power Monday” • What does a young men’s empowerment meeting look like? • There are not many male teachers in our school. What can we do? • How will we go about bringing men into our school to speak at our empowerment meetings? • What kind of follow up will we have for the speakers to engage in? • Will the meetings be comprised of single grade levels or will grade levels be combined? • If combined, what would be the most appropriate combinations? • How frequently will the meetings occur? • What would be the duration of the meetings? • Would the meetings be held in the morning, afternoon or both? • What do the girls do during the male empowerment meetings? • Which staff members should be involved? • What topics will be discussed? • What are some of the activities that we’d engage our students in? • What are the goals of the male empowerment meetings? • How would we measure the success of the program? • What are the possibilities of partnering with corporations, businesses and other agencies?
