We Can't Teach What We Don't Know

Synopsis

For author Gary Howard, the issues and passions that sparked the writing of the first edition of this now classic work are as intense today as they were then. In the Third Edition, Howard reviews the progress that has been made in the interim (for example, the first Black president in the White House), as well as the lack of progress (the gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the epidemic of Black youth killed by police, the persistence of race-based educational disparities). Making a case for the "fierce urgency of now" this new edition deepens the discussion of race and social justice in education with new and updated material. Aligned with the United States' ever more diverse student population, it speaks to what good teachers know, what they do, and how they embrace culturally responsive teaching. This essential text is widely used in teacher preparation courses and for in-service professional development. New for the third edition is: a revised introduction that places the book in the context of the 50th anniversay of the 1963 march on Washington; an updated analysis of White social dominance, bringing in the Critical Race Theory and reflecting on the racist reaction to the election of the first US Black President; more detail to the White Identity Orientations model; a new section "The Whiteness of School Reform", demonstrating how White social dominance drives much of the corporate school reform movement; a rich discussion of the seven principles for Culturally Responsive Teaching, and an expanded Reflection and Discussion Guide authored by two educators who have been using the book in professional development sessions for many years.
