Open this book to find insights, resources and strategies from 17 ground-breaking educators and community leaders around the world who share passionate first-person accounts of how to engage students and families of diverse backgrounds.
This book, prepared with both a depth of understanding and sensitivity, provides a context for the future and a perspective for preparing teachers to teach our children to succeed in the 21st Century. It provides important information that will facilitate schools being more ready to successfully meet the needs of their students through understanding the richness and complexity of diverse communities.
As educators, we all need this practical book to help us foster and teach intercultural competence, a skill necessary for our students and their families to help them thrive and grow.
Eileen Kugler honors her readers by giving them the space to acknowledge the strength of diversity, the power of interdependence, and the soul of relationships and connections. She presents us with the face and voices of the 21st century. It is not testing that will create equity and opportunity for all of our students: it is the belief, ability, confidence, and respect for each other that is at the heart of a democratic society, and a quality public education. Do you want to know what a good school looks like? Read this book.
Thoughtful, insightful and rich with depth and detail, this book explores the nuances of diversity’s power in public education. As a teacher who has taught for almost 20 years in one of the nation’s most diverse schools, I quickly identified with the authentic spirit of the voices on these pages. This unique collection of first-person accounts provides a breadth of experiences that should be a must-read for any teacher, parent, principal or superintendent.
