About this title

Synopsis

Once again, in this expanded Second Edition, Gary Howard outlines what good teachers know, what they do, and how they embrace culturally responsive teaching. Howard brings his bestselling book completely up to date with today s school reform efforts and includes a new introduction and a new chapter that speak directly to current issues such as closing the achievement gap, and to recent legislation such as No Child Left Behind. With our nation s student population becoming ever more diverse, and teachers remaining largely White, this book is now more important than ever. A must-read in universities and school systems throughout the country, We Can t Teach What We Don t Know continues to facilitate and deepen the discussion of race and social justice in education.

From the Publisher

"More teachers need to read this book, more schools need to make sure it is in their libraries, and more schools of education need to include it in their reading lists."
- From the Foreword by Sonia Nieto, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

"Gary Howard explains why teachers mustn't 'fake it,' but must acquire the knowledge, skills, and disposition to successfully teach all students. A great book for teacher-candidates and experienced teachers."
- Carl A. Grant, Hoefs-Bascom Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
