Kofi Lomotey explains that they were unable to afford salaried employees so students would get credit through the African American Community Student Development Program (AACSDP). There was no formal teacher training, rather the teachers “participate[d] in weekly parent/teacher workshops, where ideas are exchanged and information from other Independent Black institutions is evaluated and implemented.” When the Shule moved to Carter's nursing home the college students, Kofi Lomotey and his wife Nahuja, were accompanied by two paid teachers.
