About the Authors
Our humanity challenges us as well as defines us. By "challenges us" I mean, it is only we humans who can define what humanity truly means, and how education supports our meaning. Here in this book we find the true meaning of humanity in cultural humility and in civility.
— Graeme Harper, PhD, dean, The Honors College, Oakland University; director, National Society for Minorities in Honors
In an environment of quick fixes and cookie-cutter approaches, this book is a thoughtful reflection on the complexity of addressing the real issues of inequality in schools. The research and analysis are very thorough, and the authors provide a thought-provoking road map for analyzing and acting upon the trauma that makes student achievement so difficult for some of our students.
— Anthony Muhammad, PhD, author and educational consultant
In this courageous and compelling book, authors’ Barnes, Slaton and Parker “walk the walk” of cultural humility and civility by effectively building the capacity for their readers to take the necessary steps towards co-creating truly welcoming and caring learning environments for all our kids. This book a “must-read” guide for developing the individual and institutional stamina necessary for our long walk together towards educational equity and inclusion.
