SETCLAE Q & A
- Forty-two percent of African Americans can’t read beyond the sixth grade level. In most urban areas the dropout rate hovers near 50 percent. There is, on an average, a thirty point differential on achievement tests between White and African American students.
- Many African American Students associate being smart with being White or with being something undesirable or unattainable.
- Many are embarrassed about their lack of knowledge about African American History.
- People who possess self-esteem attribute their success to their abilities, and their failures to lack of effort.
- Numerous studies confirm the relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement.
- To improve the academic achievement of those students no reaching their fullest potential.
- To instill in youth self-determination and effort which is the best way to measure academic achievement.
- To transmit racial pride and enhance the students’ knowledge of culture and history and its significance to contemporary living.
- To improve discipline and school atmosphere
- By conducting in-service training for educators and parents on:Self-Esteem
Teacher expectations
School climate - Maximizing academic achievement
- By measuring students’ self-esteem at the onset of the program using a self-esteem pre-test and after completion of the lesson plans with a post-test.
- By providing lesson plans to be used to enhance the students’ knowledge of African and African American culture and history.
SETCLAE can be easily integrated into the following elementary and high school courses:
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)
