If African American kids aren't dumb or lazy, why are they still underachieving? : related theories -- Effective instructional practices -- Effective classroom management --

How can teachers reach African American students from challenging backgrounds? -- Standard English or Ebonics : should we force them to speak "correctly"? -- Can they call each other the "N word"? -- What should I do when African American students accuse me of being racist? -- Why do African American students need a culturally relevant education? -- Other controversial issues -- Conclusion : can teachers' beliefs be changed? : lessons that I've learned.

Subject: In this book, Gail L. Thompson takes on the volatile topic of the role of race in education and explores the black-white achievement gap and the cultural divide that exists between some teachers and African American students. Solidly based on research conducted with 175 educators, Through Ebony Eyes provides information and strategies that will help teachers increase their effectiveness with African American students. Written in conversational language, Through Ebony Eyes offers a wealth of examples and personal stories that clearly demonstrate the cultural differences that exist in the schools and offers a three-part, long-term professional development plan that will help teachers become more effective.
