The AAPLC supports districts and schools as they work on increasing student achievement for African American students and gives district and site level leaders an opportunity to network with each other. During three sessions throughout the school year we will address cultural and literacy issues affecting African American students for grades K-12.
Participants will receive a copy of the book, The Power of One: How You Can Help or Harm African American Students by Gail L.Thompson. This research and workbook will be the center of our learning community work for the year.
