MMABSE'S

2008

Teacher Recognition Gala

Friday, May 2, 2008

Wyndham Milwaukee Airport Hotel

and Convention Center

4747 South Howell Avenue

Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53207

The mission of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators, Inc., is to promote and facilitate the education of all students, African-American students in particular.  Our goals are to establish a coalition of African-American educators and others directly or indirectly involved in the educational process; to create a forum for the exchange of ideas and strategies to improve educational opportunities for African-American people; to identify and professionally develop African-American educators; and to influence public policy concerning the education of African-American people.

During the month of May, an award of honor will be presented to individuals in recognition of their outstanding achievements and contributions to their school sites, consistent with the goals of MMABSE.  School administrators/staff are invited to recommend one individual from your building, who in your opinion, deserves special recognition for his/her achievements and contributions to the staff, students, parents and school as a whole. 

Please review the criteria for nomination and provide a written rationale as to why you feel it will be important to recognize this individual.  One teacher per building will be recognized if name is submitted.  School administrator must inform the individual nominated.  Send your completed form to MMABSE Teacher Recognition Committee.

A Message from the President

August 2007

 

 

 

Greetings,

As President of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators (MMABSE), it gives me great pleasure and pride to report our accomplishments for the period May 31, 2006 through June 1, 2007. The MMABSE web site  documented a list of accomplishments during my first term, 2004-2006. MMABSE continues to push an aggressive agenda around our mission: to enhance and facilitate the education of all students particularly those of African descent. Our focus is to close achievement gap disparities between students of African descent and other student groups. Please take a moment to read our list of 2006-2007 activities. Thank you.

MMABSE has forged alliances with several partners to improve the education of all children, their teachers and families, and we express our sincerest gratitude and thank them for their commitments to close achievement gaps in the Milwaukee Public Schools: the Office of the County Executive; Office of the Mayor of the City of Milwaukee; the Milwaukee Public Schools Board of School Directors; MPS Superintendent; the Milwaukee Partnership Academy; the National Education Association Foundation; the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association; the Milwaukee Teachers Education Center; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the National Alliance of Black School Educators; the Fellowship Open Board of Honorary Chairs. Engaging as many stakeholders as possible is critical to our work to improve the academic achievement of all students particularly those of African descent.

 

As you know, accomplishments are the result of the hard work of others. I am proud to work with a dedicated and committed MMABSE Executive Board and MMABSE membership. Our MMABSE Officers, Commissioners, Standing Committee Chairs, and members give tirelessly to the goals, functions, and mission of the organization, and I thank all of them for their outstanding contributions. As you read the list, please remember that there are individuals who made each accomplishment possible. Each of these persons has the appreciation of a grateful organization.

 

As MMABSE approaches its 40th anniversary in 2009, my expectation is that it will continue to be a beacon of hope, a pillar of strength, a catalyst for change, a powerful voice and defense for all children and educators, and a force for right.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rogers E. Onick, President
