How to Teach Students Who Don't Look Like You
Culturally Responsive Teaching Strategies
- Bonnie M. Davis - Educating for Change
Foreword by Curtis Linton
This second edition includes new or expanded coverage of Latino students, ELLs, immigrant students, race, and racial identity, and new coverage of standards-based, culturally responsive lesson planning and instruction, differentiated instruction, RTI, and the Common Core State Standards. This book helps all educators tailor instruction to their unique student population and:
Reflect on their cultures and how this shapes their views of the world
Cultivate a deeper understanding of race and racism in the U.S.
Create culturally responsive instruction
Understand how culture affects learning
"The conversation about race woven into the book is unique and definitely essential in order to effectively address the achievement gaps that are a function of race. Dr. Davis takes on a very volatile topic and is able to engage the reader without offending. Her blending of personal racial autobiographies with the courageous conversations research of Curtis Linton and Glenn Singleton is very effective. The vignettes and classroom situations help the reader understand how race plays out in our society and in our classrooms. The examples, vignettes, cases, stories, etc. will hook the readers just as they did me. Once I began reading the book, I could not put it down.”
Information contained in the text. My undergraduate students are finding this text very helpful and thought provoking. While some of it relates directly to practicing teachers, it has many beneficial components to learning about diversity.
