商品簡介
Whether it is referred to as an "achievement gap" or "educational debt," there is a difference in the measurements on standardized tests of white populations and culturally diverse ones. How to close this? Drawing on the NCTE Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing document, this book expands the focus toward providing instruction in a culturally responsive manner as part of the solution. Winn (language, literacy and culture, Emory U.) and Johnson (PhD candidate in educational studies, Emory U.) invite all teachers into this process and provide examples of four high school teachers who are successfully closing the gap. The volume includes an annotated bibliography of fifteen books the authors have found useful in teaching writing instruction. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
