Description: Why Race and Culture Matter in Schools : Closing the Achievement Gap in America's Classrooms, Paperback by Howard, Tyrone C.; Gay, Geneva (FRW), ISBN 0807763098, ISBN-13 9780807763094, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US The author explores the roles of culture and race in teaching and learning, arguing that an improved and more comprehensive understanding of race and culture can play a key role in closing the gap in educational outcomes across racial and cultural lines. He helps educators recognize the complexity in the changing demographics in America's schools; outlines the ways culture and race are two of the primary factors of teaching, learning, and achievement in diverse school settings; and uses a multifaceted understanding of race and culture to inform theory and practices that may mitigate academic disparities in schools. He applies theoretical principles to classroom practice based on research, incorporates principles of critical race and sociocultural theory, and illustrates where achievement gaps are being closed in schools, drawing on research at four different schools. He discusses how current school performance data shows the ongoing achievement disparity between students from culturally diverse and low-income backgrounds and their counterparts from more mainstream and affluent backgrounds; the changing racial, ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and social class dynamics in the US and schools in particular; the concept of culture; culturally responsive pedagogy and how educators can create learning situations, concepts, and skills in culturally recognizable formats; the role of race in learning; developing cultural competence and racial awareness in teachers; and examples of school success. This edition has been updated to examine more deeply how schools need to be prepared to respond to disparate outcomes among students of color. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
