“Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children.

“The teacher will never be a parent. The parents are the parents. But they have to engage in some sort of active education beyond just teaching mathematics and French and English because the kids spend more time there than they do with their parents at that age.

“We know that African American students tend to be relational learners. It's about the relationships between a teacher and student. Students respond well to teachers they know, believe in them, care about them, but also who teach in a matter that elicits a more active approach to learning, rather than just sitting and listening. The research on this is strong and has been available for a long time, but it is not widely practiced. That's a huge obstacle.” KnowsBelieveWellsLongHas BeensMatterCareStrongTeachTeacherStudentsHugeListeningApproachLong TimeResearchSittingObstaclesAvailableActiveAfrican AmericanLearnersTeacher And Student Author:Pedro Noguera
