| Publisher Description: Why a new edition of Culturally Proficient Coaching? Why now, especially? Because several polarizing years later, there's even greater urgency for us all to critically examine our attitudes, beliefs, and practices when working with students who look or sound different. No matter how broadly you define coach, no matter which coaching model you follow, this is the resource to help you get started. With the first edition, the authors' big goal was to shift our thinking in service of standards-based teaching and leading, and equitable interactions that support all students achieving at highest levels. Now, with this second edition, the authors add a third goal: to encourage a more holistic mindset and expanded contextual uses. New features include:
We owe it to ourselves and to our children to productively embrace and engage diversity, with all of its tensions, for the sustainability of humanity. These authors have given us the invitation, the road map, and the call to action. the embarkment is up to each one of us. --Carolyn M. McKanders, Director Emeritus Center for Adaptive Schools and Thinking Collaborative |
