About this listen
Theodore Timms is an award-winning former principal. Accolades include multiple Principal of the Year awards, Master Principal status, and various excellence awards.
This book addresses and helps with solutions for many of the key, urgent aims of the Black Lives Matter #BLM movement. Timms shows how all teachers, regardless of their own cultural heritage, can make a difference to African American children, their confidence, their futures from within the education system. Not just in terms of curriculum delivery and lesson-planning (all of which are covered), but also in terms of understanding key cultural and historical issues that affect the students' outlooks and expectations.
Although the book focuses on female students, the practical guidance can apply to students generally regardless of gender.
His handbook for educators addresses a need for inclusion. Black schoolgirls are an at risk group. This book shows you how to give them the self-esteem and self-efficacy that will lead them onto success. Many of the points are also applicable to African American boys too.
Contents include lesson ideas, chapters on her self-esteem, her career choices, black history/heritage, parenting, culture and lists of key practical points. Ideal for continuing professional development needs and self-reflection.
