Summary:

"Teachers share their stories, detailing how their own ethnic identity development transformed their teaching and their ability to connect with their students. The text includes research that informs the discussion of important issues such as "code switching," "acting White," "the importance of familial and given names," and "ethnic slurs" that are likely to surface when teachers support students in exploring their ethnicities and proclaiming their ethnic identities. Lesson designs for use at the elementary, middle, and high school grade levels are provided, as well as a structure for designing an ethnic identity development curriculum. Ethnic identity is a critical developmental process for all students, and this book offers new teaching strategies designed to help students achieve their academic goals by fully embracing their histories, traditions, and customs." -- Publisher's description
