Beskrivning

Engaging Difference discusses how to develop strategies to engage difference that work for both students and professors in multicultural classrooms. The contributions to this volume discuss specific pedagogical techniques (for example, the use of novels, web resources, and personal narratives) and the ways in which these have been applied in the classroom and in related educational activities. One contribution addresses the issues related to the freedom of speech in diverse classrooms. The essays are rooted in relevant theoretical perspectives from active learning literature, including emerging approaches on intersectional pedagogies. All authors are practitioners engaged in teaching in college, and several have previous high school teaching experience. They openly discuss challenges related to teaching in diverse classrooms and suggest pedagogical strategies to thrive in diverse environments.

Engaging Difference brings a breath of fresh air into the professional development for educators engaged in K-12 as well as higher education environments. As the classrooms across the United States are becoming more diverse, we as faculty, administrators, tutors and advisors must keep pace with the multilayered, intersectional identities of the students whom we serve. We must stay ahead of the curve with new concepts, approaches and best practices through which we can reach the students and support their academic, personal and professional growth. This unique volume offers equally multifaceted approaches to theory and practice which help us understand and work effectively with the current and incoming student populations. Budryte and Boykin build an exceptional anthology of resources, advice, and tools, practical and applicable in their scope and depth across all fields of education.
