商品簡介
Monzu (education, Chapman U.) and Merz (education Indiana U.) give a call to action for the President and policymakers to promote equity and social justice in the education system. Through scholarly research and personal essays, racial, gender, class and language issues are examined with the goal of influencing decision makers to prioritize marginalized children, teachers and families and to improve access and outcomes for minorities in education. The authors have brought together passionate advocacy and pragmatic strategy to address realities such as globalization and funding constraints, resulting in a powerful, if fragmented, message.
