As I visit each classroom at the Afrikan-centered Education Campus, a scholar immediately comes up to me, welcomes me to their learning community and asks how they can be of assistance. This practice is notable for two reasons. First, the scholars really take pride and ownership over their learning environment. Second, the teachers never take their attention away from the instruction of the entire class because the needs of the visitors are addressed without their involvement. In most classrooms, scholars are working collaboratively with their fellow classmates and being coached by the teacher. This type of team-based, project-centered learning environment is exactly the sort of education this district wants for all of our scholars.
