Courageous
Conversations About Race:
A Field Guide for Achieving Equity in Schools
By Glenn E. Singleton and Curtis Linton
Corwin Press, 2005
304 pages
ISBN: 0761988777
Examining the achievement gap through the prism of race, this
comprehensive text explains the need for candid, courageous
conversations about race so that educators may understand why
performance inequity persists, and learn how they can develop a
curriculum that promotes true academic parity. To help guide policy
analysis and instructional reform, the authors present a system wide
plan for transforming schools and districts.
Practical features of this book include:
* Implementation exercises
* Prompts, language, and tools that support profound discussion
* Activities and checklists for administrators
* Action steps for creating an equity team
Only when educators have established both a language and a process for
addressing the intersection of race and achievement, will they be able
to restructure their schools in ways which improve student performance
and fulfill the promise that every child has a right to learn regardless
of their race, culture, or class. |
