More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This guide is designed to help professionals working with African American parents to be better prepared to select culturally sensitive materials, to program more effectively, and to draw from the richness within the African American culture. The guide is one in a series of culturally specific guides produced as part of ParentLink’s Review of Curricula for Special Populations project. The project began with a national search for materials written with the population in mind. A review subcommittee representing the population, including professionals who work with specific populations, were recruited from across Missouri. The subcommittee reviewed and evaluated the materials during a 2-day retreat. In general, the subcommittee commented that available parenting materials were deficient in the discussion of raising children in a race-conscious world and in considering the strong spiritual orientation of this population. The guide is arranged in several sections. The Quick Reference section provides an abbreviated view of each of the 19 curricula reviewed.

Curricula Content provides grid pages identifying specific issues and topics covered in the curricula. The Narratives for Parenting Curricula provide a more elaborate description of the curricula and include a summary, culturally specific information, ordering details, and reviewers’ remarks. The guide concludes with a form inviting readers to provide information about other available curricula. (KB
