Page 5.423.2learning?There is no doubt that institutional culture is a major obstacle to learning. So, too, is a lack of knowledgeon the part of professors about teaching and learning. While professors are experts in their disciplines,they have not been trained as teachers. Indeed, many professors lecture because they don’t know anythingelse. They were taught by lecture, therefore they teach by lecture. Breaking through this pattern is wherewe begin our efforts.At Iowa State, we have designed a faculty development program that helps faculty to see and experiencean alternative to traditional teacher-centered environments. Put another way, we have designed a programthat creates a learning-centered environment for faculty. In this environment, we

Pang and Gibson [28] share that “Black educators are farmore than physical role models, and they bring diverse family histories, value orientations, andexperiences to students in the classroom, attributes often not found in textbooks or viewpointsoften omitted” (p. 260-61). Black educators are extended beyond the walls of the school into thecommunity which creates a deeper relationship with students of color. Students can find/see theirteacher (black educator) in their church, grocery store, community, and even in their hair salon.With this, they are able to guide and help students of color navigate through their
