"Ms. Valle's exploration of teaching in a multicultural society is highly relevant and an affirmation of the challenges faced by teachers in North America today. The diverse experiences of veteran teachers helped validate the need to recognize the skills teachers need to possess and nurture in order to lead our students to success in the 21st century. Readers will find many opportunities to reflect upon their own practises: are they equitable and culturally responsive? " - Tim Rudan, Course Director, Faculty of Education, York University
Quotes from the book
"Believe in your kids. If your kids have a dream, help them catch it. If you destroy anyone’s dream, you create a nightmare.”
"I know two to three weeks into the month of September which kids need more help than others"
