Moore, III, director of the Bell Center, was invited to participate in an education-policy forum on Capitol Hill entitled, “Breaking Barriers: A Brain Trust on Educational Policy Reform for School–Age African American Males”, sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus, Inc., Howard University’s School of Education, and the Open Society Institute’s Campaign for Black Male Achievement. This day-long event was convened on April 24. During the forum, members of Congress and a national panel of educational experts discussed important educational legislation, including the educational provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The overall intent of this forum was to unite school board members, school administrators, parents, students, and key policymakers at the national and local levels to reform education within high-need areas. With significant focus on increasing educational opportunities for African American male students, Dr. Moore was also invited to serve on a national advisory board for AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination). The advisory board informs the work of the AVID steering committee and consultants, ensures the plans are solid and well-documented by research, and develops an effective multi-year plan. AVID increases educational opportunities for African American male students at 4,000 sites and 800 school districts in the U.S., Canada and the Department of Defense Dependent Schools. Its partners include the College Board and the National Association for Gifted Children. Sp/Su’09 7
