This powerful book demonstrates how culturally responsive teaching
can make learning come alive. Drawing on his experience as a
fifth-grade teacher in a multiethnic school where children spoke
over 14 different home languages, the author reveals how he created
a language arts curriculum from the students' own rich cultural
resources, narratives, and identities. Illustrating the challenges
and possibilities of teaching and learning in a large urban school,
this book: documents how a culturally engaged pedagogy improved
student achievement and increased standardized test scores;
examines the literacy practices of children from immigrant,
migrant, and refugee backgrounds, and includes powerful examples of
their voices and writing; and provides an invaluable model of
reflective practice, including a wide array of student-centered
strategies, to generate powerful learning experiences. It also
demonstrates a way for teachers to tap into the various forms of
literacy students practice beyond the borders of the classroom.
