Becoming the Difference in a Hopeful Classroom

By Felicia Saffold

Book Overview

Most new teachers come into urban schools with little or no experience. This book was designed to help new and veteran teachers prepare their classrooms for a diverse group of students, specifically children living within low income communities. These real-life experiences and recommendations have the potential to help teachers truly learn each student that sits behind a desk, as well as the family members or community leaders that have a huge impact on students in urban school districts. This book features: - In-depth descriptions of the issues that new and veteran teachers confront when teaching in an urban setting. - Advice and insight that could help strengthen the relationships between culturally, racially, and socioeconomically dissimilar students and teachers. - An examination of the successes and failures that educators experience when engaging a diverse group of students, within meaningful academic learning environments. This literary work will help teachers come together and search for a common meaning in their classrooms, and how they can help transform classrooms, one at a time
