In his groundbreaking work, Martin Haberman identified key
dispositions of "star" teachers that help them work successfully
with students in poverty. More than two decades later, Maureen D.
Gillette and Djanna A. Hill build on Haberman's seminal work,
considering contemporary issues such as social justice, technology,
and the political environment, and moving beyond the classroom to
focus on teachers as leaders and advocates for all students. Given
the high-stakes nature of ensuring that students in high-poverty
urban and rural areas receive an excellent education, this new
edition provides concrete suggestions for what readers can do to
implement culturally relevant pedagogy and to forge a path to
becoming a star teacher. Co-published with Kappa Delta Pi, Star
Teachers of Children in Poverty offers teachers research-based
strategies for action so that they can practice socially just and
culturally relevant teaching toward the success of every student.
New to the second edition: Updated statistics on school
demographics, poverty, and teacher turnover in urban and rural
areas. Added discussion that demonstrates the interrelated nature
of poverty, health, safety, trauma, and power, and the cumulative
effects of these factors on learning. Examination of the role of
federal and state government in education and the necessity for
teachers to be leaders beyond the classroom. Vignettes for
experiential learning and analysis, and end-of-chapter questions
and resources for further exploration.
