The primary mission of the Call Me MiSTER (CMM) program, founded in 2000 and headquartered at Clemson University, was originally developed in collaboration with three private historically Black institutions to address the significant shortage of African American men teaching in K-8 public elementary school classrooms. In this article, we describe the historical context of the program's origin and framework and explain program strategies and experiences in the execution of the CMM model that has led to its sustained success in recruiting, developing, and retaining African American men who have become effective teachers in multiple public elementary and middle schools in the state and beyond.
