Achievement for African-American Students: Strategies for the Diverse Classroom

Achievement for African-American Students helps educators deliver classroom instruction with greater sensitivity and high expectations, adapt teaching strategies to engage multicultural students, and involve African-American parents in their children s education. Achievement for African-American Students answers the questions: · Who will successfully teach America s children, particularly African-Americans? · Is there a need for comprehensive school policies designed to strengthen the cultural consciousness and intercultural competence of the teaching force? · What attitudes and skills will teachers need to reach their socioeconomically disadvantaged students, particularly African-Americans? · What instructional practices are most advantageous in classrooms where African-American students are the majority enrollment? · Can we as a nation afford to under serve our minority students?
