Teachers are dealing with increasingly diverse classroom settings,
yet the majority of teachers do not share the same culture as their
students. Going beyond they typical heroes and holidays approach to
cultural diversity, Gaitan shows that real culture is the
day-to-day experience of students and their families and involves
values, language, kinship, community and social networks, common
history, attitudes, and rituals. By honoring "real culture,"
teachers will be better equipped to reach all their students
effectively. Divided into two parts, this invaluable resource
covers the classroom environment and the topics of discipline,
arranging the classroom, and parent and community involvement
first. In the second half of the book, Gaitan explains how teachers
can be culturally responsive in the way in which they teach
literacy, math, science, the interdisciplinary curriculum, and
other content areas. Based on Gaitan's own interviews,
observations, and audio & video recordings with teachers,
parents, students, and community leaders, this book shows how
teachers can transform the context and content to be culturally
responsive to all their students. Each chapter follows a accessible
and user-friendly format, making it ideal for mentoring pairs,
group study, or teachers working individually: Personal reflection
from a teacher related to the chapter topic Discussion of the topic
as it relates to the culturally responsive classroom, incorporating
the latest research and best practice Rich case example including
dialogues between teachers and students, the author's observations,
and teacher reflections about what occurred Guiding questions
