Recenzje

"One of the major problems facing American schools is not only the lack of qualified teachers with strong subject-matter backgrounds, but also the lack of teachers who are familiar with and open to the cultural diversity of their classrooms....This important, timely book seeks to address this lack of preparation in what the editors define as 'culturally-responsive teaching.' Such teaching involves understanding their students' cultural backgrounds to develop instructional activities that bridge the gap between the student's culture and mainstream culture. It also involves continually reflecting on one's instruction....This reflection needs to be grounded in a solid cultural understanding of the impact of home culture on their students' learning--a key theme running through this collection."
—Contemporary Psychology

"Highlights the notion of using culture as a compass or a lens for making pedagogical decisions....A particularly useful and interesting text, both in its approach to 'uncovering' and its presentation of case studies/vignettes of teaching and learning in culturally diverse classroom settings."
—Cynthia B. Dillard
The Ohio State University

"Leading edge in how to integrate a diverse curriculum.... Unique and responsive to teachers' needs."
—Jean Madsen
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
