Over the past 20 plus years Mr. Rasheed has worked as an educator in various levels of teaching and administration. His educational experiences includes the elementary, middle, and high school levels. His proclivity to assist African American males led him to become the founder of R.A.A.M.P. (Reaching African American Male’s Potential). The program was founded in 1993 and implemented it in several schools in the San Diego Unified School District. R.A.A.M.P. was implemented in Antioch Middle School in 2007-2008. Subsequently, R.A.A.M.P. Charter Academy emerged. It was originally intended to be a single-gender school for African American males. However, unfortunately that did not come to fruition. Thus, R.A.A.M.P. became (Raising Academic Achievement Multi-Cultural Program) Charter Academy; which he co-founded.

Mr. Rasheed now continues his passion and calling to ameliorate our African American males, symbiotically conveying and championing positive perception of their social, academical, and personal accomplishments until it becomes customary and expected! P.O.W.E.R. (Providing (W)holistic Educational Resources) Consulting and G.R.I.O.T. (Greatness Rediscovered In Our Time) Mentoring gestalt, both serve as a conduit to continue Mr. Rasheed’s role in the “village” of altruistically affirming and assisting African American males. He also teaches 7th and 8th grade “Life by way of English Language Arts” and mentors teachers at Synergy Charter School in Pittsburg, CA.

Mr. Rasheed received his Bachelor’s degree in English from the HBCU- The University of Arkansas in Pine Bluff; teaching credentials from The Fortune School of Education; A Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from The University of the Pacific; Administrative credentials, and currently is an Educational Administration and Leadership doctoral candidate at The University of the Pacific.

“Freire mentioned that we must stop banking education. He said instead of making educational deposits, we must start planting seeds and cultivate them so they can grow. By the looks of this current epidemic on African American male students, those plants have metamorphosed to trees; those trees are now growing some Strange Fruit- with blood on the leaves and blood on the root.” Mr. Lawrence A. Rasheed
