For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education by Christopher Emdin

5.0

I read this first when I was in college at Western Michigan University and I just finished my second read through as I approach my one year education job anniversary. It's one thing to read this book as an educator in training and it's another to read when you're in the thick of it. I love idea of Reality Pedagogy and how it can be an effective learning strategy for students.

The disconnect between students of color and white teachers is seemingly greater than ever in today's social and political climate. This reread was a (not-so) gentle push to be better for my students each and every day.
