Achievement for African-American Students: Strategies for the Diverse Classroom

By Gary L. Reglin

Achievement for African-American Students helps educators deliver classroom instruction with greater sensitivity and high expectations, adapt teaching strategies to engage multicultural students, and involve African-American parents in their children?s education. Achievement for African-American Students answers the questions: ? Who will successfully teach America?s children, particularly African-Americans? ? Is there a need for comprehensive school policies designed to strengthen the cultural consciousness and intercultural competence of the teaching force? ? What attitudes and skills will teachers need to reach their socioeconomically disadvantaged students, particularly African-Americans? ? What instructional practices are most advantageous in classrooms where African-American students are the majority enrollment? ? Can we as a nation afford to under serve our minority students? Achievement for African-American Students details initiatives for restructuring education and attitudes, which result in a more sensitive, caring environment for African-American students. It also describes measures that will increase the involvement of parents.
