Summary:

This innovative book gives voice to the challenges and rewards of transformative teaching through 17 first-person narratives by a panoply of diverse authors who have made a life of advocating for "all" students. These essays showcase the barriers, biases, and fears that must be overcome in the process of developing a personal and professional identity as an educator. Encourages prospective teachers to realize the need for transformative teaching and commit to the often-uncomfortable task of becoming more inclusive and more socially just within their own classrooms. Covers all major topics addressing diversity, advocacy, identity development, and multicultural teaching--immigration, social class, race, gender, and poverty. For future multicultural educators.
