Culturally Responsive Teaching: Theory, Research, and Practice (2nd Edition) by Geneva Gay
Geneva Gay is a professor of education and an associate of
the Center for Multicultural Education at the University of Washington-Seattle.
The achievement of students of color continues to be
disproportionately low at all levels of education. More than ever, Geneva Gay’s
foundational book on culturally responsive teaching is essential reading in
addressing the needs of today’s diverse student population. Combining insights
from multicultural education theory and research with real-life classroom
stories, Gay demonstrates that all students will perform better on multiple
measures of achievement when teaching is filtered through their own cultural
experiences. This bestselling text has been extensively revised to include:
expanded coverage of student ethnic groups; a new section on standards and
diversity; new examples of culturally diverse curriculum content; more examples
of programs and techniques that exemplify culturally responsive teaching; an
emphasis on positive, action-driven possibilities in student-teacher
relationships; and new material on culturally diverse communication, addressing
common myths about language diversity and the effects of “English Plus”
instruction.
