Other Peoples Children 2ND Edition 2006

by Lisa Delpit

Other Peoples Children 2ND Edition 2006 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Presenting an analysis of contemporary classrooms, this book develops ideas about the ways teachers can be better cultural transmitters in the classroom. It suggests that many academic problems attributed to children of colour are actually the result of miscommunication.

Book News Annotation:

In this work, which was originally published in 1995, Delpit (education, Florida International U., Miami) offers insights into how teachers can better navigate cultural differences in their classrooms--racial, religious, socioeconomic--to ensure that all children have opportunities for educational success. This 2006 edition includes a new introduction by the author and three new essays by three of Delpit's colleagues discussing the author's work and its continuing impact on educators. For teachers, parents, and administrators. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
