Description

"This new application for cultural proficiency is a testament to the educator-student relationship based on respect, understanding, and a common purpose, no matter what the background or culture of the student happens to be.

We can't afford for more students to disengage from education.

Thankfully, the authors provide a framework that builds on where we are and that moves us toward a positive, asset-building environment rather than a destructive deficit mind-set."—Kathleen Gavin, Coordinator of Professional DevelopmentGreat Prairie Area Education Agency, Burlington, IADevelop culturally proficient policies and practices that create opportunities for students of poverty!Written to counter the perspective that students from low-income backgrounds come to school with certain deficits that prevent them from learning, this timely resource provides educators with the knowledge and skills to maximize educational opportunities for all students, independent of students' socioeconomic status.
