Description
Are you seeing your students clearly?
This unique collaboration between a veteran educator and a psychotherapist asserts that the educators who are most effective in teaching diverse populations are those who can "see students clearly and respond to their needs without hesitation or bias." Framed around an original, eight-stage model of diversity development, this book provides readers with essential tools for building a sturdy foundation of mutual respect. Included are specific strategies for creating a school environment that:
- Gives voice and consideration to all students
- Shows interest, empathy, and respect for all staff members
- Advocates respect and reverence of individuality
