Book Overview
"Teach Change Empower takes the concepts of diversity and change--which are often complex, abstract, confusing, and not salient to many teachers who struggle with the meaning of these concepts in actual classroom practices--and uses them as a framework for something that is very real to teachers: the achievement gap."
--Barbara Heuberger Rose, Associate Professor
Miami University
"Readers are challenged to think about themselves and their role in addressing achievement gaps in a non-blaming manner. Carl Grant does an outstanding job of incorporating the work of a number of researchers."
--Maria Whittemore, Minority Achievement Coordinator
Frederick County Public Schools, MD
