Culturally Responsive Teaching and Reflection in Higher Education explores how postsecondary educators can develop their own cultural awareness and provide inclusive learning environments for all students. Discussing best practices from the Cultural Literacy Curriculum Institute at Lesley University, faculty and administrators who are committed to culturally responsive teaching reflect on how to create an inclusive environment and how educators can cultivate the skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary for implementing culturally responsive curriculum and pedagogy. Rather than a list of "right answers," essays in this important resource integrate discussion and individual reflection to support educators to enhance skills for responding effectively to racial, cultural, and social difference in their personal and professional contexts. This book is as an excellent starting point or further enrichment resource to accompany program or institutional diversity and inclusion efforts.

This book serves as a resource guide for practitioners, counselors, child protection workers, and human service professionals in Guyana and throughout the Caribbean who seek to promote community mental health in their unique cultural contexts. It draws upon the learning and experience of thirteen Guyanese professionals who completed an Interdisciplinary Master of Arts degree at Lesley University in 2014, focused on trauma sensitive assessment and intervention for children, families, and communities. Each of the graduates of the Lesley University/Guyana Program completed a final project focused on a particular population and issue, researching and analyzing the issue and developing and presenting a workshop for colleagues or clients. Throughout the book their voices and experiences apply new understandings and skills to work in varied contexts within Guyana. The book provides practical real life examples of community mental health promotion by dedicated professionals committed to making a difference.
