About This Title
"Bonnie Davis’s book illustrates the cultural competencies that educators need to understand when trying to reduce the achievement gap."
-Charles Rankin, Director
Midwest Equity Assistance Center
"The examples in the book are wonderful. I obtained a lot of ideas that I can share with preservice and inservice teachers as well as administrators. Reading this book will give educators the opportunity to gather information, reflect, and see ways to change their classrooms to reach all learners."
-Rosalind Pijeaux Hale, Professor
Division of Education, Xavier University of Louisiana
Today’s teacher faces the challenge of reaching culturally and ethnically diverse students.
The children in America’s classrooms are changing in complexion and complexity, making teaching students with diverse backgrounds one of the greatest challenges you’ll face. Administrators are also under pressure to "close the achievement gap" between White and Asian students and their racial and ethnically diverse counterparts.
So how do you make sure all of your students learn, when nearly 40% of U.S. citizens are racial or ethnic minorities, who may "see" the world through a completely different cultural "lens" than you do? This reflective workbook for reaching and teaching students of varied backgrounds offers successful strategies for all subjects and grade levels.
Using this practical handbook, you will learn:
- How to first recognize one’s own culture to understand needs of diverse learners
- How to examine racism and its impact
- Strategies for establishing a school climate for teaching diverse learners
- Research-based instructional strategies to implement across the disciplines
Using her expertise and success in training hundreds of teachers, Bonnie Davis created this interactive workbook to help new and experienced teachers find better ways of teaching their students.
