Color of Teaching

Informationen zum Autor June Gordon Klappentext One of the major concerns in education today is how to recruit and attract more teachers of color into the profession. In an attempt to move beyond the superficial and simplistic responses as to why students of color are not entering teaching, The Color of Teaching presents in-depth interviews with over two hundred persons of color from tour ethnic groups: African-Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Latinos in the United States. These interviews, many of them teachers or education professionals, express their attitudes toward teaching and their understanding of why students of color may not be selecting teaching as a career. Zusammenfassung Looks at the key reasons why students from ethnic minorities are not becoming teachers. Containing interviews with over 200 people, this book will enable us to understand the cultural, political and historical forces discouraging teachers. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
