In classrooms across the country, there is a great cultural divide between most teachers and their African-American students. Often this is the result of beliefs and biases that both sides bring to school. This book addresses the controversial questions that others have tiptoed around -- Should students use standard English or Ebonics? Can they call each other the "N" word? What if I'm accused of being racist? Black or African-American -- which term should I use? The author explains what the research has to say about culture and learning, describes effective instructional practices for African-American students, and offers a three-step personal professional development plan that will help teachers become more effective in the classroom. Based on data collected from 175 teachers, this book also provides sample assignments that teachers can use with all students.
