Document Summary
Carol lee: profile of an independent black institution. American school reform efforts focus on simply solutions to problems: a. a. history in curriculum of inner-city schools increases self-esteem in black youth, single sex schools for black males etc. Rather than simply complain and react, the independent african centered school movement has taken a proactive stance, defining within a community context the possibilities and gifts that. Black children offer the world, and creating institutions to manifest its ideals. However, no matter how many independent schools there are, there is not enough for all a. a. children. Efforts to reform urban schools are focusing on providing greater autonomy at the school site level and establishing community based school councils with formal input from teaching staff. Most of the early ncdc staff, although college-trained, had little formal experience working with young children. White or middle class students tend to do better academically at school than children from ethnic minority backgrounds.
