Dr.Ramon B. Goings

My name is Dr. Ramon Goings and I am the Program Coordinator for the Sherman STEM Teacher Scholars Program at The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). As the program coordinator, I provide support for our pre-service teachers, student teachers, and Sherman Alumni teachers who teach throughout the State of Maryland. Prior to my work with UMBC, I served as a Special Education teacher in various Maryland and Connecticut public school systems.

While serving as an intern with The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, I did a significant amount of work around African American Male initiatives including: father and mentor engagement and African American teacher recruitment.

My scholarly interests include reframing the narrative about Black males PK-PhD. My dissertation research explored the academic and social experiences of high-achieving Black males attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). I am also interested in helping school districts diversify the teacher workforce.
