We have had a great deal of interest in schools in which African Americans make up a small minority. A large portion of SETCLAE lesson plans are not racially specific and are appropriate for all racial groups.

~ We also stand firm on the importance of all students needing a more accurate understanding of African American culture and history. If we are really serious about integration, then we must drop the “melting pot” theory and implement the “salad bowl” theory.

~ SETCLAE is also easily modified to include other cultures. For example, Harambee groups can choose from the names of the Hispanic-speaking communities or countries or important leaders from their particular ethnic group. It is important for all children to receive the exposure of African American culture and history in a positive light.

~ It is equally important for teachers to be receptive to the information, if they are looking for strategies and materials that will help them relate to their African American students

We believe there is no comparison!! But we’ll let you be the judge!

~ SETCLAE is a comprehensive self-esteem curriculum complete with an in-service training video, teacher’s manual, complete workbooks (Grades K-8, 9-12), lesson plans videos, posters, award certificates, pre- and post-tests, a map and all the books needed to successfully implement the program.

~No other modules can attempt to do what SETCLAE does; which is to systematically build the self-esteem of all children (and even adults), using the positive elements of African and African American culture. Even overall school climate is improved if SETCLAE is implemented as the school-wide program that it is meant to be.

Yes! SETCLAE is a comprehensive on-going program which includes an informative, easy-to-follow in-service video featuring SETCLAE co-authors Folami Prescott, M.A. and Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu. This 70-minute video will help new and future implementers understand the materials, the concept, and the actual process.

~ Implementors also need to receive an overview of the need for SETCLAE. Remember the importance of agreeing on problems, causes and solutions, before we can move to the implementation. (Dr. Barbara Sizemore)
