About this title

Synopsis

A strategic handbook for educators and administrators serving increasingly multicultural classrooms

In Culturally Responsive Conversations, longtime cultural inclusion educators Marina Lee and Seth Leighton deliver an eye-opening discussion of how to develop better relationships and improve learning outcomes in a student body that’s growing increasingly culturally diverse.

In the book, readers will explore practical strategies to improve the K-12 educational experience for everyone, including cultural groups who have historically been overlooked or marginalized. This book provides a usable toolkit for educators to have more effective conversations with families from multicultural backgrounds and give all students the educational experience that they deserve. The authors tackle historical models for educating immigrants in the United States while identifying the many stakeholders in the education system and how familial involvement shapes and impacts student achievement. Readers will also find:

Interactive self-practice exercises, along with extensive references for additional study
Expansive treatments of effective cultural communication and the barriers that prevent teachers and students from achieving it
Explanations of how teacher-parent communication can be impacted by cross-cultural talk

An unmatched resource for educators, administrators, and K-12 school leaders, Culturally Responsive Conversations also belongs on the bookshelves of parents, families, and community members hoping to advance the cause of diverse, equitable, and inclusive schools for all.
