Description: "A strong teacher development resource for white educators who serve BIPOC students and are looking for culturally relevant pedagogies that value the diverse experiences of their students."--
Review Quotes: "Education Across Borders is a powerful cri de coeur, appeal, study, and manifesto from three fervently passionate, highly empathetic, and experienced educators who are transforming K-12 education for BIPOC and first-generation students, particularly from Haiti and the Dominican Republic. . . . It is the kind of book that belongs in every classroom, as it could help safeguard young people's futures and even save their lives."
--Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother, I'm Dying
--Carola Suárez-Orozco, cofounder, Re-Imagining Migration, and Distinguished Professor, University of Massachusetts, Boston "A must-read for all educators interested in transforming anti-racist theory into everyday classroom practice."
--Peniel E. Joseph, author of The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. "Education Across Borders fiercely advocates that teachers of Haitian, Dominican, and other students with immigrant backgrounds--whose language and cultural needs are largely neglected in classrooms--must do better. Sylvain, Tamerat, and Cerat's collective years of teaching and research, and depth of theoretical knowledge, provide important insight for ensuring both academic success and positive socio-emotional development for students learning English. This book is for all who are deeply committed to the success of language-minority students and are willing to passionately advocate for it. As such, it should serve as a resource for every educator who teaches these students."
