KWANZAA KAMP FOR CHILDREN AGES 5-14 Monday, December 28—Wednesday,
December 30, 2009
We want to enact change in the way African-American
children are educated. Not only to close the gap in academic achievement,but
also to create cultural enrichment education that fosters the positive
personal growth of our children. Our ultimate purpose is to achieve an increase in the number of African American students who reflect pride in their cultural roots by reaching a higher level of academic achievement. We seek changes that create a more collaborative, multi-pronged approach to educational change, involving educators, students, and parents. And most importantly, we seek to expose educators to cultural competent strategies that affirm African American children. Celebrating Successes in Educating African American Children In November
