African-centered Rites of Passage and Education: Culturally Responsive Social Emotional Learning is the 25th-year edition update of the original 1996 publication - exploring the connection between education and the rites of passage process. It examines the philosophical foundations that frame each concept, identifying expected outcomes and understanding the intersections between the "rites" and education.
Lessons for the Authentic Self is a card of 49 lessons teaching SEL core competencies & Nguzo Saba.
The foundation for learning and engaging students, parents, educators, and the community is SEL. While many districts have committed to addressing SEL development of its students, all too often the practice of SEL has devolved into “fixing” children (particularly black and brown students). The Black Child & SEL explicitly addresses the five SEL core competencies as levers for fostering equitable environments in support of all students.
Understanding the current “anti-anti racism” efforts
As district leaders and educators have been force to "at least" rethink education delivery, there is the opportunity to re-imagine education itself. In 2020, we have an opportunity to create an education system that: (1) values the human being; (2) is committed to the development of the human being; and (3) engages the full potential of the human being.

The CACRoP is a growing community of practitioners, facilitators, scholars, parents, and activists committed to the advocation, study, development, and practice of an African-centered rites of passage process.
