“…Throughout this study, high expectations and familial relationships surfaced most frequently throughout the data. Johnson (2011Johnson ( , 2014 notes academic rigor is an important component of critical care for students. In the preview of critical cultural care, participant narratives suggest that EBA helps to eliminate low expectations through its resistance of rudimentary pedagogy.…”

“…Here, part of school-level caring involves meeting the needs of students. In schools, evidences of care manifest in several ways, including compassion, action, outlook, morality, and responsibility (Johnson, 2011). Within school contexts, care is not only a teacher disposition, but also an educative topic as well (Noddings, 1992;Owens & Ennis, 2005).…”

“…Many researchers suggest that caring is a conduit of culturally relevant practices (Jackson et al, 2014;Johnson, 2011;Ladson-Billings, 1995;Thompson, 1998;Ware, 2006). An ethic of care serves as a transformative practice that extends beyond passive benevolence; instead it necessitates more active participation.…”

“…Both Braxton and Kamori explain that the one-on-one attention at EBA helps the academics of all students. Caring theorists would agree that one key exemplar of care is meeting diverse needs and providing individual student attention (Johnson, 2011(Johnson, , 2014 Like Braxton, Garnett also comments on teachers' individualized attention and the pacing of classroom lessons. He notes: I like um, the teachers um, teach at your pace.…”

Studies on urban education and reform often focus on school failure, without exploring the positive impacts of curricula and pedagogy on student achievement. In addition, existing studies often ignore two central components: school learning climates and care. This case study investigates student, teacher, and administrator experiences in a high-performing urban school in the South. Findings reveal that Ella Baker Academy (pseudonym) is uniquely characterized by a family environment, caring teachers, and individualized student attention. The results of this study are crucial given the lack of research on effective school-based practices that promote high achievement in African American urban students.

“…Character education supports the moral and civic development of youth in the United States (US), its popularity continues with all stakeholders; as a matter of fact, 18 states legislate character education. An extra 18 states endorse the usefulness of character education in schools and communities, and 7 states support character education without an official statute (Johnson, 2011;Johnson & Hinton, 2018). Current research authenticates assertions that character education programs boost positive youth development (e.g.…”

This essay puts forward a theoretical argument in support of culturally consonant character education. Character education supports the moral and civic development of youth in the United States (US), and it remains popular with all stakeholders. Majority group members often are unmindful of the significance and span of cultural distinctiveness of minorities. Rather, majority group members consciously or unconsciously advocate assimilation and adherence to universal virtues, chiefly in the field of character education. Cultural-historical conditions, as features of the moral development process, tone the agency and negotiation of character education. To that end, this essay employs Charles Mills’ The Racial Contract (1998) to not only account for the moralities of exclusion, but put forward a character education philosophy that accounts for cultural distinctiveness.
