Encourages reflection and self-examination, calls for understanding of how students can achieve and be expected to perform at their best. It demonstrates what is involved in terms of recognizing often-unconscious biases, confronting institutional racism where it occurs, surmounting stereotyping, adopting culturally relevant teaching, connecting with parents and the community, and integrating diversity in all activities. Gives examples of practice and insights that will engage teachers in practice or in service. From publisher description.
