Questioning Assumptions and Challenging Perceptions: Becoming an Effective Teacher in Urban Environments, Second Edition

By Connie L. Schaffer, Meg White, Corine Meredith Brown

What individuals know about urban schools is often based on assumptions and perceptions. It is important for educators to examine these assumptions and perceptions of urban schools and the students who attend them. While many books address the pedagogy of teaching in urban settings, this second edition provides a foundation that should precede the development or redevelopment of pedagogical practices. Within a framework of cognitive dissonance, readers will continuously examine and reexamine their personal beliefs and perceptions and investigate new information and varied perspectives related to urban environments.
