Themes to put into Practice: Recognizing cultural discontinuity & developing positive race-relations with African-American students with relevant cultural arts and education in schools & classroom guide is an extension of Dr. Brandi DeShawn Brown's mission to create cultural continuity between home and school for African-American students.
Dr. Brown is passionate about African-American students engaging and making connections to the teaching and learning in schools and classrooms. Most of all, Dr. Brown strongly believes educators have to make efforts to introduce relevant role-models, curriculum and teaching, and appreciate and identify the strengths of the culture African-American students bring into the classrooms and schools.
This guide is designed for educators to transform their pedagogy and approaches with their African-American students by recognizing and avoiding cultural discontinuity.
