Research has shown that students of African descent experience school punishment (formal suspension, in-school suspension, detention and referral to special education) at a disproportionate rate compared to white students. Research also shows that these suspensions and referrals to special education are not due to African children acting out more but to the cultural mismatch between them and their teachers. When teachers have the will and capacity to develop and use the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of their students' culture the issue of a cultural mismatch is reduced and the schooling experience of students is improved.

520 $a Research has shown that students of African descent experience school punishment (formal suspension, in-school suspension, detention and referral to special education) at a disproportionate rate compared to white students. Research also shows that these suspensions and referrals to special education are not due to African children acting out more but to the cultural mismatch between them and their teachers. When teachers have the will and capacity to develop and use the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of their students' culture the issue of a cultural mismatch is reduced and the schooling experience of students is improved.
520 $a This dissertation is a multi-site case study of a curriculum reform (the infusion of Africana history) intended to improve the schooling experience of African students in a large urban school system and thereby improve their academic achievement. It examines the implementation process used to infuse Africana history. The study participants were teachers who functioned as school liaisons in the Africana Infusion Program (AIP). Survey and interview agreement forms were sent to each of the one hundred (100) liaisons identified by the school district. Sixteen purposefully selected veteran liaisons then participated in phone interviews, focused interviews, and/or site visits. Data analysis consisted of a detailed description of the AIP, categorical aggregation of components from the selected sites, and determination of themes. The conclusions identify relationships among the characteristics of the Program.
520 $a Four key characteristics emerged: capacity, will, dynamic culture engagement and action. The underlying characteristics of power and support were found to be critical to district-wide implementation. The AIP has not successfully been implemented district-wide due to a lack of teaching, support, monitoring, and assessment.
