Autor Nancy P. Gallavan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2010
Culturally competent teachers know and understand each of their students. Culturally competent schools are ones where students feel welcomed and engaged. To become culturally competent, teachers and other school professionals must treat every student with fairness. This book for secondary teachers and administrators presents an 8-point model of cultural competence which, if followed, will ensure that all individuals in the school are both respected and protected. The 8 points correspond to the directions on a compass and are as follows: N: Notice culture and cultural characterstics
NE: Negotiate and evaluate curriculum and content
E: Establish community and context
SE: Seek and engage
S: Spark conversations and climate
SW: Strengthen and weave together complexities and controversies
W: Waken compassion and commitment
NW: Nurture and welcome challenges and changes

Each of the eight compass points delves into a segment of teaching and learning that educators must make visible in all of their endeavors."
