Description
Through Ebony Eyes addresses the volatile topic of the role of race in education, and explores the black-white achievement gap and cultural divide that exists between some teachers and African American students. Based on research conducted with 175 educators, the book provides information and strategies that will help teachers increase their effectiveness with African American students. Written in conversational language, it includes a wealth of examples and personal stories that illustrate the cultural differences existing in the schools and offers a three-part, long-term professional development plan that will help teachers become more effective.
