Methods
are the means by which people achieve an aim; the practices, ways of doing things. We seek to meet our goals through - Application of African-humanities to the cultivation of community in the school
and classroom; development of lesson plans and organization of lessons; organization of hallways, bulletin boards, classrooms
and offices
- Integration of hands on efforts into structure of learning experiences; extension
of learning outside the assigned physical classroom space
- Recognition, in practice, of the whole
child; root learning in the realities of children’s lives; expand learning to include development of mind, body, and
soul; actively include families in learning experiences of children
- Practice of integrity
in teaching; cultivating learning environments in which integrity, honesty, discipline, and determination are valued in practice;
align words with deeds, and vice versa; challenge convention and inspire children to do the same; go beyond prescribed parameters
- Practice of love and caring with members of the community; demonstration of love yet firmness; being consistent;
recognition of achievement; working through mistakes and learning lessons; cultivation of a supportive environment
- Cultivation of self-determination and discipline; development of leaders who are workers and workers who are leaders;
