This had great points, but i feel like I do alot of this already. I liked the one I read for my grad class better.
Good book with some good ideas...together with Responsive Classroom and ENVoY strategies, a teacher is enabled with a number of approaches you can implement immediately.
Grad school read. Good book to discuss and think about CLR.
As an urban educator I loved this book and found it extremely valuable. The only thing keeping it from five stars was that there was some repetition that sometimes tripped me up wondering, didn't I just read that, or was that another book. For sure all educators can benefit from learning more about cultural and linguistic responsiveness.
As a follow up, another great book to read of you enjoyed this one is "Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain" by Zaretta Hammond.

Every single educator needs to read this book and apply the truths Hollie discusses. I think that any attempt at a detailed review would fall short of the wealth of knowledge provided by this book. In a time when students have so much chaos going on in their every day life, teachers going the extra mile to teach them the way their brain learns makes such a difference.
I read and review books on my blog, Rachel's Reading. Check it out for 100's more like this!
This was the very first book I started reading to prepare for having my own classroom. My best friend bought it for me for my birthday and I dove right in. This was a really accessible book that I honestly enjoyed. Hollie discusses the tenants of teaching in a way that is Culturally and Linguistically Responsive. He talks about grammatical structure in different dialectal forms of English and how to encourage your students to use those, but also to learn to translate them into academic English. He teaches us to affirm our students home cultures, while also preparing them for the outside world.
I've done a lot of reading and work with multiculturalism and how to not center the white experience. Because I want to teach in high need schools where the majority of my students won't be white, I felt it was really important to check my privilege early on, so that when I enter the classroom, I'm able to apply that knowledge rather than learn it as I go. My goal is to give all my students the best education I can provide them. Hollie's book was a wonderful first read and gave me ideas on how I can apply it right away.
