"All educators working with diverse students should read this book! Using personal experiences, the author provides examples of culturally responsive classroom instruction that brings tears to my eyes realizing what I missed in my own education." -Julie Esparza Brown, Assistant Professor in Special Education Portland State University "Diversity in race and culture is one of the greatest issues facing students and teachers in education today. Without changing our mindset and understanding how others learn, we will never meet the expectations of educating all people. This book is outstanding in addressing these issues. It is truly a powerful read and something all educators should keep as a resource when making decisions for students who do not fall into that stereotypical 'box'." -Cindy Lawrence, Curriculum Coordinator Lumberton ISD "This book presents salient and provocative ideas with regards to teaching the way students learn. These ideas are not readily spoken about in teacher preparation programs or in schools. This book provides an avenue to discuss the ways African American students learn best." -Lydia Adegbola, Assistant Principal NYC Department of Education.African American childrenEducationChildren with social disabilitiesEducationUnited StatesResponse to intervention (Learning disabled children)United StatesCulturally relevant pedagogyUnited StatesAfrican American childrenEducation.Children with social disabilitiesEducationResponse to intervention (Learning disabled children)Culturally relevant pedagogy371.82996073Williams Dwayne D.1542191MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910795483503321An RTI guide to improving the performance of African American students3794700UNINA
