new and veteran teachers develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed
to successfully address racial controversies in their classrooms. The author
first explains what race and racism mean and why we need to talk about these
topics in schools. Then, based on an in-depth study of a high school
classroom, she shows what happened when teachers and students talked about
race and racism in a history and language arts classroom. Throughout the book
she guides teachers in ways to discuss important issues?from civil rights to
institutional racism?that will ultimately help teachers and students to change
school culture. <O:P></O:P></FONT></SPAN></P>
