Description: Advancing Equity and Achievement in America's Diverse Schools : Inclusive Theories, Policies, and Practices, Paperback by Wilson, Camille M. (EDT); Horsford, Sonya Douglass (EDT), ISBN 113889155X, ISBN-13 9781138891555, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume contains 13 essays that consider how educators, students, families, and community partners in the US can bridge social, cultural, and academic divides in schools to offer high-quality education that is equitable and socially just. Education scholars and educators mainly from the US explore the cultures of youth and families served in public school by highlighting the racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity, as well as the culture of US schooling that marginalizes various groups. They address the inequities found in school communities; the multicultural/multiethnic/multilingual and social and economic realities of students, families, schools, and communities; various contexts that influence opportunity and achievement disparities among students; the need for education that is culturally responsive, conscientious, inclusive, and unifying while offering reform recommendations and descriptions of innovative practices; the needs of marginalized and underserved populations; scholarship that acknowledges demographic change in schools; and educational ideas, theories, data, and strategies. They discuss the background and recommendations related to understanding educational equity and achievement in the US, including the political rhetoric of equity and achievement in high-stakes educational accountability reform, No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top initiatives, better serving English language learners, and issues of cultural diversity and demographic change in terms of transformative leadership; best practices for addressing multiple dimensions of diversity in schools, including teaching about Islam and Muslims, addressing marginalized sexualities, disrupting deficit-based thinking of Latino and Native American youth, and teacher diversity in English as a second language teachers; and how educators can foster partnerships and collaboration with school community members and organizations, including school-university partnerships, serving students with special needs, dealing with homelessness, and preparing pre-service teachers to engage urban parents and families.
