The Importance of an African Centered Education for African American Children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957522128)

The focus of an African-centered education for African American children is to incorporate them into their learning and place them at the center. This book presents a well-balanced combination of published articles detailing how African American and European views teaching African American children from an African-centered approach.

To gain insight into the topic, interviews were conducted with school administrators, instructors, parents, and students. Student interviews were conducted to gauge their knowledge of prominent African Americans. Parent interviews were conducted to understand their thoughts on their child being taught from an African-centered approach. Interviews with school personnel provide their views on students learning from an African-centered approach.

Through research, this book provides both the pros and cons of teaching African American students from an African-centered approach, from the perspectives of various scholars of both European and African American descent. The focus of this research is to help educators understand the importance of African American students seeing themselves in all aspects of education while erasing nonfactual information and replacing it with information that explains how the African race contributed to shaping the world we live in today.
