*Set Up
This video questions why people leave school or fail to graduate. Rather
than focusing on the more commonly held idea of "drop outs," the video

researchers, students, and each other, we try to present the stories
behind the statistics.

The mission of the Call Me MISTER (acronym for Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models) National Initiative is to increase the pool of available teachers from a broader more diverse background particularly among the State's lowest performing elementary schools. Student participants are largely selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities.


The Call Me MISTER program is contributing to the talent pool of excellent teachers by identifying and supporting students like Mr. Mark Joseph, who are literally "touching the future" by teaching children.
