A Handbook for
Teachers of African American Children
is a guide providing strategies and suggestions for teachers to
utilize towards raising the achievement levels of African American
children. Kafele states emphatically that no teacher of African
American children can afford not to read this book. He says that as
long as classroom teachers fail to make connections with their
African American students, learning will certainly fail to occur.
