Many of the intractable problems that plague culturally diverse students are deeply rooted in the poverty, unemployment, crime, racism, and cultural differences that pervade the neighborhoods around them. Educators who work in our nation's schools represent the conscience of a society because they shape the conditions under which future generations learn about themselves and their relationships to others in the world. Educators, families and community members need to reinvigorate the language, social relations, and politics of schooling. We need to address the issues of school culture, poverty and violence. We need to look at new and future trends in education. Our goal is to achieve results. Parents, teachers and students must come together to make a difference. Ideas and people can change the course of history. -- Book Description. 000453312 650_0 $$aPublic schools$$zUnited States. 000453312 650_0 $$aChildren with social disabilities$$xEducation$$zUnited States. 000453312 650_0 $$aSchool improvement programs$$zUnited States. 000453312 85200 $$bgen$$hLA217.2$$i.L446$$i2012 000453312 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453312$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453312 980__ $$aBIB 000453312 980__ $$aBOOK
