Required reading for my students

This book is outstanding. I require either some or all of this book as required reading for students taking my Multicultural Ed college course. It is a must read for teachers, especially those who teach students of color.

Great read. Very informative. This will be very useful for my staff in the coming school year.

inspiring

if I hadn't started reading this book later in the evening, I would have read it cover to cover in one sitting, but I stopped in the middle to sleep! I read this book prior to entering a teaching credential program, and am really glad that I did, because it has given me a framework to evaluate my teacher education as I go through it to make sure I learn the skills I need to teach in my neck of the woods. I feel really empowered by it. He gives lots of references to other books and organizations. I feel really excited and inspired!

** A Must For Every Urban Educator **

I highly recommend this book by Jawanza Kunjufu. I've taught in the urban setting and this book unlocks a lot of behind the scenes info that I was not aware of. As always, he shares lots of research for continued study.

must read
