San Francisco, Calif. : Jossey-Bass Publishers, c2009. xxii, 225 p. Includes discussion questions. Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-216) and index. A dream deferred -- Does culture matter? -- Seeing color, seeing culture -- We are family -- The tree of knowledge -- Culturally relevant teaching -- Making dreams into reality. Gloria Ladson-Billings revisits the eight teachers who were profiled in the first edition and introduces us to new teachers who are current exemplars of good teaching. She shows that culturally relevant teaching is not a matter of race, gender, or teaching style. What matters most is a teacher's efforts to work with the unique strengths a child brings to the classroom. --from publisher description. Electronic reproduction. Palo Alto, Calif. : ebrary, 2013.
