“Afrocentric Education: Challenging the Genius Within our Children”...is a conference designed to facilitate instruction and to center the curriculum for educational excellence. The conference will be divided into three phases:
- Defining Afrocentric education and the need
- Proven Strategies and techniques of implementation
- Classroom demonstrations with and by students
Attending this conference will change your life forever-whether you are a teacher, administrator or parent. You will learn facts of African history and culture that are omitted from textbooks, literature, audio and visual media and other reference materials. You will learn proven successful strategies and techniques that can be used with any class but specifically with children of African descent. You will never again call our children, “at-risk, disadvantaged, minority, inner-city, special ed, underprivileged, urban , adhd, kadakd (this will probably become a new acronym-just type some letters), etc.
Highlights of the conference include:
 | Actual class demonstrations done with and by students of African descent.
| A four year old reading on a third grade level.
| Fourth and fifth graders demonstrating trigonometric problems in physics.
