Are you creating Fish Out of Water in your environment? Oftentimes
a group demands compliance with cultural codes and behavioral
expectations that are never taught. Instead, the standards of this
hidden curriculum are used to justify punishing, marginalizing, and
excluding children and adults from the dominant culture. This book
focuses on the need for and the strategies to create inclusive
classrooms and organizations. What do you do when you are the one
who doesn't fit in? Fish Out of Water are those who don't fit in
the mainstream culture because they are too different from the
dominant groups. This book offers tools for decoding
cultures-moving from code switching to code sharing. Included are:
Compelling portraits of fish out of water who have learned to
survive and thrive in schools and other organizations Strategies
for working with children who are targeted and bullied because they
are different For every one who has been or knows how it feels to
be a Fish Out of Water, this book will help you to flourish where
you are, mentor others who are different, and manage the dynamics
of difference as you create a culturally proficient organization.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: "Fish Out of Water is a great resource for
navigating ponds that suffocate the marginalized with dominant
norms and values. Linking Cultural Proficiency to decoding an
environment provides more tools for code switching, code sharing,
and conversations about making students and families feel welcomed,
included, and safe in our schools." -Angela Ward, Office of
Cultural Proficiency & Inclusion Austin Independent Schools, TX
"This book made me think. It is a courageous attempt at the
difficult subject of who 'doesn't fit' into the spaces and places
we inhabit-and why. But the most valuable part of this book is that
it describes what we can do about making our schools, workplaces,
and communities more inclusive, and ultimately more effective."
-Nicki King, Reducing Mental Health Disparities Project University
of California, Davis
