Resisting Discrimination

"Where do you look for information on uniting staff and students to combat discrimination? How can you put "what everyone knows is right" into practice? This new book offers the guidance you need to lead your school to true equality." "Learn how discrimination can permeate your school and your classroom without overt signs. Find out how to recognize the subtle but potentially damaging things that students and educators say and do." "Begin the process by involving teachers, students, and community members. Use your leadership skills to encourage teachers to participate in area social services to get to know students and their families, empower students through participatory decision making, build partnerships between the school and community with community redevelopment, and involve community leaders in the fight against discrimination."--Jacket.
