Abstract	:	This study sought to understand the motivating factors that influence Black fathers’ engagement in their 5- to 11 year-old children's academic learning experiences within an urban context. Employing identity theory as its theoretical framework and interpretative phenomenological analysis approach, the researcher conducted ten in-depth semi-structured interviews with Black fathers living in Newark, New Jersey. The data revealed fathering values, academic worldview, and forms of learning engagement as themes, which informed their function in the learning lives of their children. These themes were found to have their origin in the communicated expectations and behaviors modeled by individual participants identified as significantly influential to their K-16 educational journey. This study suggests when Black males have had someone they regarded as influential in their lives during their formative years setting clear expectations for their academic progress and holding them accountable to meet those expectations, that their academic parenting behaviors were reflective of the impact of those relationships. Participants early experiences and negative social biases held about them as Black men and fathers collectively forged the academic worldview they enacted with their own children.
