Advancing Equity and Achievement in America's Diverse Schools
illustrates how educators, students, families and community
partners can work in strategic ways to build on social, cultural,
and ethnic diversity to advance educational equity and achievement.
By drawing on the latest data on demographic change, constructions
of culture and cultural difference, and the politics of school
reform in urban, rural, and suburban school communities, this
volume looks toward solutions and strategies for meaningful
educational improvement. Contributors consider both the diversity
of youth and families served in public schools, and the culture of
U.S. schooling, highlighting the influence of policy and reform
agendas; students' identities and agency; experiences and
approaches of diverse educators; and the workings of effective
school partnerships. Chapters also focus on those often overlooked
in educational scholarship such as Native Americans, students
experiencing poverty and/or homelessness, Muslim students, students
with special needs, and students and educators who are lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, or queer. In all, this edited
collection stresses the need for high quality education that is
inclusive, culturally responsive and unifying so all students can
experience academic success. This book is a meaningful resource for
educators, policymakers, and community-based leaders interested in
doing such transformative work.
