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

Everything about this book made me reflect on my teaching practices and go, "Well, damn, I do that." I've worked at schools that are located in the "hood." I grew up with a predominantly black community, so I thought I knew and empathized with my students. However, after reading this, it made me realize that I can do more. I've silenced my students because of standardized tests and teacher evaluations. I do strengthen my relationships with students at the end of the school year and have allowed my students to create and share. I've always appreciated my students' culture and with this book, it reminded me that I can always do more.

So good with legit research and examples to think about.
