Description
Part 1 of this book highlights the sociocultural political issues facing urban education and our urban communities. Concepts such as the political nature of knowledge, the need for holism, education for all, communitarian ethics, and questions as to who can speak for what culture are raised ... Part 2 deals with teachers and teaching. Dedicated, bright, strong, well-prepared, permanent teachers are needed for our urban classrooms: and many qualified urban youth turn away from education as a career choice. Traditional teacher training models do not provide strong preparation for urban education ... Part 3 presents curriculum models and strategies to increase multicultural understandings and commitments ... Part 4 presents the need for educators to be policy advocates and committed collaborators.-Foreword.
