商品簡介
Singham (Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education, Case Western Reserve University) looks at the problem of the black-white achievement gap in US education in the context of larger political realities, and contends that in order to understand this gap, we must know what is happening within the educational system as a whole. The author examines factors contributing to widespread underachievement, refutes common myths about the causes of the gap, describes professional development programs necessary to produce good teaching practices, and recounts success stories.
