Full Description
Help a culture of equity grow and thrive in your school!
This second book in the groundbreaking Equity 101 series takes on culture: the cultures we come from as individuals and the culture we foster in our schools. With students and educators from so many different backgrounds, how do we create a school culture of equity in which everyone succeeds?
Discover the actions teachers and administrators take to do just that. Using real-life success stories as models, you'll start
Recognizing inadvertent cultural biases and increasing educators' cultural competency
Overcoming institutionalized factors that limit achievement
Implementing equitable practices that ensure individualized support for all students
Featuring chapter-specific implementation exercises that take you from ideas to action, plus a dedicated online community with videos and discussion groups, this book is the next step on your path to true equity in your school!
"Creating, nurturing, and sustaining an educational culture where individual differences are affirmed, and instruction is continuously tailored based on these differences, is essential to enhancing student achievement. This book is your practical how-to guide."
