Changing Education for Diversity

Using case studies of the education of aboriginal peoples, immigrant girls, minority language groups and the urban poor, the author leads teachers and administrators to think more deeply and critically about diversity issues. Topics include a successful example of school reform; the importance of arranging schools so that all children receive guaranteed access to academic meaning systems; bilingual education; and the need for a critically informed knowledge base for teachers to work from.
