Are you seeing your students clearly?
This unique collaboration between a veteran educator and a psychotherapist shows that the educators who are most effective in teaching diverse student populations are the ones who can ‘see students clearly and respond to their needs without hesitation or bias.’ Framed around an original, eight-stage model of diversity development, this book provides readers with essential tools for building a sturdy foundation of mutual respect upon which schools without bias can be constructed. Included are specific strategies for creating a school environment that
- Gives voice and consideration to all students
- Shows interest, empathy, and respect for all staff members
- Advocates respect and reverence of individuality
- Adapts innovative policies—despite resistance—that best serve the total school community
In addition to vignettes, anecdotes, and case examples, the authors provide worksheets for problem-solving, conflict resolution, clear communication, rules of engagement, reflection, and scenario study. This book will help educators boost student achievement by giving them how-to strategies that work across content areas to create a culturally considerate classroom and school climate that supports student success and reinforces the strength of individual teachers, administrators, and auxiliary personnel.

She has presented at numerous national conferences and currently works in school districts across the country. Dr. Davis’ work centers on examining what “we don’t know we don’t know” about ourselves in order to more effectively teach students who don’t look like us.
