Beskrivning

The suspension and expulsion of ethnic minority students, especially African American males , remains a critical issue in schools today. This book addresses the root causes of racial disparity in discipline. Dr. Bireda shows how culturally conditioned beliefs and cultural misunderstanding negatively impact teacher-student relationships and interactions in the classroom. In addition, factors in the school climate that may precipitate and escalate disciplinary events are examined. Ultimately, Cultures In Conflict provides a framework which assists administrators and teachers in establishing a dialogue on issues related to race and culture, and provides a set of strategies for reducing disciplinary events and referrals.

Recensioner i media

Bireda’s unique insights into student culture and its impact on teaching and learning are powerful and beneficial to those who desire to reach all children. We used her book as a springboard to jumpstart a conversation about race and culture and the instructional decisions we must make to be sure that every child reaches his or her fullest potential. I would highly recommend Cultures in Conflict to any faculty that is serious about embracing students from diverse backgrounds and pushing them to new heights.
