A road map for responding to cultural diversity in today's classrooms
A "good" school is a learning community that maximizes the potential of all its students, whether they are white, black, Hispanic, Asian, or Native American . . . and a school can't be a "good" school when some of its students are misidentified, misassessed, miscategorized, misplaced, and misinstructed because of cultural differences.
This insightful work offers case studies, observations, and solutions to the challenges presented by cultural diversity—a new approach that can bring excellence to all learners, all teachers, all parents, and all communities, including:
Redefinition of "good" schools Assessment and accountability Labels and categories Placements and inclusions Instructions and interventions The "dream school" and the good school"We cannot and should not define 'good' schools only from the perspective of student performance on standardized tests. A 'good' school should take a holistic approach to education, considering each student's need academically, socially, emotionally, culturally, and globally."
. . . and this is the practical, hard-hitting book that can make it happen.

"Obiakor poignantly bestows upon us the infinite wisdom of culturally diverse peoples that has been passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, he provides interpretations that challenge us to rethink traditional school leadership and teaching styles in ways that lead to transformed educational practices for all learners—adults and children alike—in an age of accountability and reform."—Stanley C. Trent, Associate Professor of Special EducationUniversity of Virginia
