Beschreibung
A strategic handbook for educators and administrators serving increasingly multicultural classrooms In Culturally Responsive Conversations, longtime cultural inclusion educators Marina Lee and Seth Leighton deliver an eye-opening discussion of how to develop better relationships and improve learning outcomes in a student body that's growing increasingly culturally diverse. In the book, readers will explore practical strategies to improve the K-12 educational experience for everyone, including cultural groups who have historically been overlooked or marginalized. This book provides a usable toolkit for educators to have more effective conversations with families from multicultural backgrounds and give all students the educational experience that they deserve. The authors tackle historical models for educating immigrants in the United States while identifying the many stakeholders in the education system and how familial involvement shapes and impacts student achievement. Readers will also find: * Interactive self-practice exercises, along with extensive references for additional study * Expansive treatments of effective cultural communication and the barriers that prevent teachers and students from achieving it * Explanations of how teacher-parent communication can be impacted by cross-cultural talk An unmatched resource for educators, administrators, and K-12 school leaders, Culturally Responsive Conversations also belongs on the bookshelves of parents, families, and community members hoping to advance the cause of diverse, equitable, and inclusive schools for all.
Rezensionen
"Marina and Seth's wisdom and stories helped me better understand what I've seen and heard in classrooms around the world, and reflect on how I can be better with kids of every background."
- Mike Goldstein, founder, Match Education, Boston
"Scholars have dissected cultural responsiveness, alerting educators of its importance, but educators are still left with the question of 'how do we actually do this in schools?' The authors extend current knowledge into practical, digestible nuggets of wisdom that concretize and demystify cultural responsiveness for educators."
- Josephine M. Kim, Senior Lecturer on Education at Harvard University
"In this engaging and highly readable primer on cross-cultural communications for educators Marina Lee and Seth Leighton offer an original synthesis of knowledge based on scholarship and on practice with practical exercises that can help the reader become more self-aware and competent in navigating cross-cultural exchanges. Their own lived experience, as a multicultural family and as global educators, uniquely qualifies them to speak with authority and authenticity about the potential of true communication that bridges cultures. This book will empower educators to realize the potential that lies in culturally diverse classrooms and schools."
- Fernando M. Reimers, Ford Foundation Professor of the Practice of International Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
