Teaching for us

This weeks lecture presented another way of teaching African American students. I never though about an African centered school before Ms.Worthy came to speak to us this week. I could relate to some things she was saying. one interesting point of the lecture was the amount of schools she has taught at and her accomplishments while teaching. her being teacher of the year at every school she has ever taught at shows how effective her teaching technique is. I also found it interesting that she never considered teaching until she was required to become a teacher's assistant and ended up loving it and changing her path. As a student i understand  where the philosophy behind  African centered teaching. having a more personal and student centered environment really allows the child to open up and learn without being scared about what other students think. The African Axiology which says the #1 Value is relationships can be applied to any kind of situation.  My third key point is the definition of freedom. I think freedom means different things to different to different people. But Ms.Worthy summed it up perfectly: Humanity. To be free to be a human and everything else after is freedom. being free to do what you desire and not have to explain yourself to anybody else is the best feeling you could have,
