Other People's Children: Cultural Conflict in the Classroom, Updated Edition
Lisa Delpit

New Press, 2006

Defined my teaching
Even though the focus of this book is working with African-American children, the underlying theme that I took away from this book is the importance of understanding the culture of the children we work with on a daily basis. At one point I taught in an inner-city ...

The Snowy Day

A Classic!
I remember my mom reading this book to me as a child. I still enjoy it just as much as an adult, reading it to my children. Ezra Jack Keats is a favorite author in our house!

"Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?": A Psychologist Explains the Development of ...
Beverly Daniel Tatum

Basic Books, 2003

Personally challenging, but ultimately engaging and eye-opening
I started reading this book with a lot of preconceived notions about what racism is, what it isn't, and how my life and beliefs fit into the overall framework of racism. I was surprised, shocked even, to read that racism is a much broader picture than I imagined, and ...
  
  











  



  
The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America
Jonathan Kozol

Interesting read!
I was required to read this book for a graduate class and was actually pleasantly surprised. I'm a teacher and there's a lot of things in this book I never thought about! Great read!
  
  











  



  
Affirming Diversity: The Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural Education (5th Edition)
Sonia Nieto, Patricia Bode

Allyn & Bacon, 2007

Too much about race and little coverage of cultures
The title of this book is badly mistitled. Although this book is well cited and thoroughly researched, the authors stressed African Americans over all other races. This is a book about multi-cultural education and yet the references were mostly about African ...

Greg Mortenson

Viking Adult, 2009

Greg always delivers...
Greg Mortenson never fails to deliver. In his second book, "Stones into Schools," he delivers a play-by-play account of his school building experiences in Afghanistan and Pakistan just where "Three Cups of Tea" left off. One of the more interesting parts contained in ...

Back Bay Books, 2008

A must-read history for all Americans
I read this book when it first came out and used it as a required reading for a number of undergraduate and graduate courses that I taught ever since. This is a U.S. history book like no other. Dr. Takaki introduced us to the narratives that have been silenced and ...

Gary R. Howard

Well Worth the Read
This was assigned as part of an urban ed course requirement for teacher certification. By far one of the best books I've read. Very insightful with real applications to the classroom. Well worth your time to read!
  
  











  



  
Teaching Students Who Are Exceptional, Diverse, and at Risk in the General Education Classroom (4th Edition)

Supportive Text for Teachers
I bought this book for a class in mainstreaming, required for my full credential in California. The book is well organized and easy to read. The information is valuable and I will refer to this book throughout my career as a teacher.
  
  











  



  
Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics
bell hooks

South End Press, 2000

good book, good shape, timely delivery
I love how basic and excessable this book is! It is a great introduction to feminism but is also good for renewing understanding for those well versed radicals and activists because it returns to roots and clear principles. If only it was taught in every high school in ...
