More Than an Ally: A Caring Solidarity Framework for White Teachers of African American Students - Hardcover

by Michael L. Boucher Jr (Author)

Division and acrimony have reached new heights that demand far-reaching structural solutions for White teachers committed to creating classrooms where all students thrive. The second edition of this inciteful and motivating book explores the Caring Solidarity framework with new, updated examples and, aspirational, descriptive guides for teachers and researchers. Plus, there are extensive revisions based on newly available research. This new edition includes new chapters on solidarity in the digital age and how to be in solidarity with communities when districts across the country are banning books and working to erase the identities of our students.
