Description

What's Really Said in the Teachers' Lounge helps you explore how cultural beliefs and biases - yours and those of your students and colleagues - affect growth and learning. It offers ways for you to develop greater cultural awareness and become more responsive to the needs of diverse children. According to the author, multiculturalism has become so politically correct that true feelings and honest opinions are reserved for the teachers' lounge. The author analyzes this climate of political correctness in which caution, instead of real sensitivity to diversity, is often the norm. Through exploration of your own attitudes and cultural makeup, you will learn how to better respond to others. Make your classroom more vibrant and culturally responsive. What's Really Said in the Teachers' Lounge is sure to spark stimulating dialogue among educators, particularly in teacher education courses, inservice training sessions, and discussion groups.
