Description: The major purpose of this book is to offer a new, culturally sensitive, socioeconomic-sensitive, research-based, practical approach to challenges faced by African American children and their teachers and care-givers. This approach is anchored in self-empowerment theory, which suggests that African American children must receive encouragement in self-motivation, self-praise, and adaptive skills that will spur academic and social success.
