520 |a "Students of color are often left underserved and unrepresented in school curricula. This book focuses on African American students and the usefulness and importance of corrective education in reversing curricular fallacies. Additionally, it uncovers and explains the role that education can play in creating a more holistic learning experience for minority students. The Afrocentric school in this proposed book is high-performing, and outperforms the state. The book identifies what teachers and student recognize as supportive features of the school's approach, including: (a) a unique learning environment, (b) support systems, (c) spiritual affirmations, (d) evidences of Black education, (e) a reframing of Afrocentricity, and (f) education that promotes positive and transformative Black identity. In response to reviewers, the authors will expand their frame of reference to draw on evidence from other schools but will look deeply at one school and possible applications of its model in other settings"--  |c Provided by publisher.
