This lively book will help 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 happens 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.
Jane Bolgatz taught high school social studies and language arts for 7 years. She is now an assistant professor at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Education in New York City.
