These instructors are more likely to employculturally responsive approaches and understand the lived experiences of African American learners,fostering a more affirming learning environment. African-centered teaching strategies such as call andresponse, communal learning, and the use of proverbs are rooted in African ways of learning andknowing. These strategies align with how many African American students naturally process and engagewith information (Asante, 1991; Akoto, 1992; Shockley, 2011).
