{"product_id":"9781579221478","title":"White Teachers \/ Diverse Classrooms: A Guide to Building Inclusive Schools, Promoting High Expectations, and Eliminating Racism","description":"Inspirational, insightful \u0026amp; practical\u003cbr\u003eEdited by an experienced   White teacher and a Black scholar\u003cbr\u003eAuthor events and national   publicity\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eClose to seventy percent of K-12 teachers are White, and   the proportion is growing. All the while, student populations of color are   increasing fast. For African Americans, school is often not a place to learn but   a place of low expectations and failure. In urban schools, where we find large   concentrations of poverty, it is common for fewer than half the ninth graders to   leave with a high school diploma. Black boys see few, if any, role models in   school and many drop out by tenth grade or even earlier. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere is   a connection between the disproportion of White teachers to students of color   and these educational outcomes. It is simply that most White teachers have never   been exposed to what it means to truly teach inclusively and equitably; nor seen   the transformative power of such teaching and its ability to bring about   success. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBy encouraging reflection and self examination, by   understanding how students can achieve and how to expect the most from them, and   by recognizing institutional racism for what it is, teachers can transform the   current state of education for African American students in the United States.   \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBoth Black and White teachers here demonstrate what's involved in   terms of teachers recognizing often unconscious biases, surmounting   stereotyping, adopting culturally relevant teaching, connecting with parents and   the community, and integrating diversity in everything they do - and in so doing   finding the true path to leaving no child behind.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is   replete with examples of practice and telling insights and will engage teachers   in practice or in service. It should have a place in every classroom in colleges   of education. Its empowering message applies not just to teachers of Black   students, but will illuminate teaching in every racially diverse   setting.","brand":"Stylus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061525659888,"sku":"9781579221478","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781579221478_p0.jpg?v=1763798131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781579221478","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
