Free Companion Download | The ARTS AFROCENTRIC LESSON PLAN For Teachers

Designed to complement Teaching Teachers: The Afrocentric Model of Education, this free Afrocentric Lesson Plan resource provides culturally grounded, classroom-ready materials for educators, homeschooling families, and curriculum developers committed to African-centered pedagogy. Rooted in Afrocentric metatheory and the ethical principles of Maat, these lesson plans center on Africa as the foundation of human civilization, knowledge, and cultural expression. Developed for Grades 6–7 (ages 11–12), the curriculum integrates the Arts, speech, writing, music, dance, and visual expression to strengthen cultural identity, historical awareness, and critical thinking. Lessons emphasize Africa as the birthplace of humanity, the intellectual contributions of Kemet (ancient Egypt), and the importance of cultural memory in shaping students’ understanding of themselves and the world.

This resource supports teacher formation, curriculum studies, Africana Education, and African-centered homeschooling by offering inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally affirming instructional strategies. It is ideal for educators seeking alternatives to Eurocentric narratives and for parents concerned about the whitewashing of history in mainstream education.
