Recenzii
"This
is
the
book
I
have
been
waiting
for. It
is
filled
with
stories,
the
latest
research,
data,
and
a
workbook
all
in
one.
In
clear,
beautifully
written
prose,
Gail
Thompson
asks
us
to
examine
our
own
preconceptions
and
perceptions.
By
completing
her
exercises
and
keeping
a
journal
as
she
suggests,
we
can
discover
our
strengths
and
our
challenges.
We
are
encouraged
by
Thompson
to
continue
this
exploration
and
to
make
real
changes
in
the
way
we
teach
and
in
our
relationships
with
our
African
American
students. This
book
is for
all
of
us:
new
teachers,
experienced
teachers,
administrators,
mentors,
community
workers,
and
anyone
who
wants
to
help
rather
than
harm
these
brilliant,
hopeful,
marvelous
young
people
in
our
care."
"Gail Thompson is one of the few scholars around who actually can help teachers increase their efficacy with African-American students. In this terrific follow-up toThrough Ebony Eyes, Thompson provides specific strategies and useful exercises to help teachers understand their own power to be positive forces in the lives of children."
"A comprehensive, definitive resource for educators and all those responsible for and interested in enhancing equity, excellence, and educational achievement for African American students. I congratulate Thompson for producing such an engaging, solutions-oriented workbook, which artfully integrates well-documented research and the right, rich blend of theoretical insights. The absence of jargon, the clarity of the writing, the substantive content, and the personal accounts of the educational experiences of an array of diverse education stakeholders contribute to making this work understandable, engaging, appealing, and imaginative. Thompson’s own compelling experiences as a student and her successful experience as a researcher and as an educator inform the work. If I could choose only one resource,The Power of Onewould be my number one choice."
"A much-needed contribution to the field of education. This book eloquently discusses the impact that one educator can have on the lives of African American students. From the discussion of the 11 ways this book can help the reader to the productive exercises within each chapter, this book is a must-read! I definitely endorse this book for anyone who is interested in the effective education of our African American children."
"Thoughtfully engages readers on the power of challenging mindsets to help provide positive outcomes for all students."
