In Learning While Black Janice Hale argues that educators must look beyond the cliches of urban poverty and teacher training to explain the failures of public education with regard to black students. Why, Hale asks simply, are black students not being educated as well as white students? Hale goes beyond finger pointing to search for solutions. Closing the achievement gap of African American children, she writes, does not involve better teacher training or more parental involvement. The solution lies in the classroom, in the nature of the interaction between the teacher and the child. And the key, she argues, is the instructional vision and leadership provided by principals. To meet the needs of diverse learners, the school must become the heart and soul of a broad effort, the coordinator of tutoring and support services provided by churches, service clubs, fraternal organizations, parents, and concerned citizens. Calling for the creation of the "beloved community" envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Hale outlines strategies for redefining the school as the Family, and the broader community as the Village, in which each child is too precious to be left behind. "In this book, I am calling for the school to improve traditional instructional practices and create culturally salient instruction that connects African American children to academic achievement. The instruction should be so delightful that the children love coming to school and find learning to be fun and exciting."—Janice Hale

Every child was born to be someone great. However, a child's journey to greatness in life begins with how seriously they engage in the educational process. That foundation is only developed when parents fully engage in the educational journey and purposely forge a collaborative connection to their child's teacher. Research strongly supports that children who embrace education early as a critical component in their growth are maximally successful in school and consistently do well in other endeavors. It is solely the responsibility of parents to ensure that foundation is strong."Unleash Educational Excellence" is an educational guidebook that provides simple, yet empowering strategies for parents and educators to help children on a life-long educational journey for success. This dynamic resource helps parents in all parenting situations understand that education begins in the home and parents are a child's first teacher and strongest advocate for long-term success. Whether dual parent households, single parent homes, non-resident father parenting, special needs parenting, and foster care parenting, this book provides proven strategies and life-long lessons to strengthen the family, enhance the child's school journey, and ensure a success mindset throughout the child's life."Unleash Educational Excellence" is critical to the foundation of the experiential education philosophy, a critical strategy purposed to enhance the classroom learning environment for student engagement. Defined as a process in which teachers purposefully involve students in hands-on experiences and subsequent reflections in order to maximize learning in the classroom and make it more applicable to life outside the classroom. Educators cannot effectively facilitate experiential education without the fundamentals that a parent teaches at home and without the parent being intrinsically engaged in the experiential learning process. "Unleash" is the tool to assure parents and teachers work in close collaboration to ensure educational excellence for every child in school and life!

THE COLFAXES DIDN'T START TEACHING THEIR BOYS AT HOME TO GET THEM INTO HARVARD - BUT THAT'S WHAT HOMESCHOOLING ACCOMPLISHED! For over fifteen years, David and Micki Colfax educated their children at home. They don't think of themselves as pioneers, though that's what they became. Unhappy with the public schools, the Colfaxes wanted the best education possible for their four sons: a program for learning that met the evolving needs of each child and gave them complete control of how and what their children learned. The results? A prescription for excellence-Harvard educations for their sons Grant, Drew, and Reed. (Their fourth son is still too young for college.) Now the Colfaxes tell how all parents can become involved in homeschooling. In a straight-talking book that reads like a frank conversation among friends, they tell what they did and how they did it: their educational approaches, the lessons they learned, and what materials-books, equipment, educational aids-proved most useful over the years. Best of all, they show you how you can take charge of your children's education-in an invaluable sourcebook that will help you find a rewarding and successful alternative to our failing schools.

The author gives us a vision of educational reform that transcends standards, curriculum, and instructional strategies. He argues for a paradigm shift-a schoolwide embrace of an "ethic of excellence" and with a passion for quality describes what's possible when teachers, students, and parents commit to nothing less than the best. The author tells exactly how this can be done, from the blackboard to the blacktop to the school boardroom.
