Cultural Competence in America's Schools: Leadership, Engagement
and Understanding focuses on explicating the impact of culture and
issues of race and ethnicity on student learning, teacher and
leadership efficacy, and educational policy making in our nation's
public school system. The authors agree with Levin (2012), who
pointed out that the challenge of dealing effectively with racial
and ethnic diversity in education in traditionally homogeneous
societies is a global problem. One indicator of this point is
revealed in a U.S. study that was commissioned by the National
Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality, which reported on the
serious consequences for student achievement and teacher
effectiveness in the face of "the gap between teacher training and
the realities of the classroom when it comes to teaching diverse
populations and students with special needs." (Public Agenda, 2008,
p. 2).
