As a teacher what are you going to do to make sure this pedagogy is implemented in your classroom? We have to understand what backgrounds our students are coming from. By having that in the back of your mind you will be able to best aid your students. Help them beat the odds! You have to believe in your students abilities so they will in turn believe in themselves. Be sure to encourage a multicultural classroom, and don't get stuck in your own comfort zone.

One of my favorite parts of the book is where the author shares an expert about how she could continue to compete with the "superior whites", or she could achieve her own set goals because she wanted to, and she succeeded. There will always be people who are telling you that you aren't good enough, and you are given the choice to accept that, or, you can beat the odds, tear down the stereotypes, and prove yourself to be a worthy student.

The Importance of The African American Educator

This is an organization dedicated to proudly shouting out successful, hard working African American teachers. I chose this image because the author talks about how important it is to have African American educators in our classrooms. Black Educators Rock, Inc.’s vision is to offer professional development and a platform to share a plethora of best practices, resources, academic success, and professional accomplishments for our growing membership of educators.

This, if you didn't know, is a picture of a train conductor. I chose this image to represent the conductor teaching pattern that is brought up in our text. The conductor is the teacher who believes excellence can be achieved, and stops at nothing to make it happen for their student. They aren't as focused on getting others involved. They take the reins and they make sure achievement it met.

We all need coaches in our life. The book talked about how the coach is vital in representing the African American student. This is the teacher who believes the child can achieve excellence, and finds a team to help the student reach that potential. This is the kind of teacher that I want in my life. I don't want someone who will do everything for me. I want someone who believes in me, but will push me to reach my goals.

From reading this book, one can tell that the author has strong ideals about segregation. I chose this photo to represent the segregation found in this book. Put together, this could have been a great picture. Instead, the artist "ripped" the picture in half therefore separating the boys and adding a torn affect from what could've been. Segregation is still something that is going on today, although we don't think about it as much anymore.
