ABSTRACT
Culture can be defined as, the history, ethos, mythology, and motif of a people. Pearls are used in this article as a metaphor, to describe the currency values in the pedagogy and learning experiences of African Americans. Investigation, therefore, is the outlier of vetting patterns of success and deficiency in the learning styles of African American students. Within this essay, the focus is targeted at traditional approaches by practitioners in urban school environments, where often times, the concept of culture is dismissed, when we usually identify a larger demographic of students of color.
