  The practices and values in the United States educational system position linguistically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse children and families at a disadvantage. BIPOC dropout rates and levels of stress and anxiety have linked with non-inclusive school environments. In this collection, three educators draw on their experiences as immigrants and educators to address racial inequity in the classroom and provide a thorough analysis of different strategies that create an inclusive classroom. White educators that serve BIPOC students will benefit from these reflections on incorporating culturally relevant pedagogies that value the diverse experiences of students. 
   
   
   
  With a focus on Haitian and Dominican students in the United States, the authors reveal the challenges that immigrant and first-generation students face. They also offer insights about topics such as: 
   
   
   
  ● How do language policies and social justice intersect? 
   
   
   
  ● How can educators use culturally relevant teaching and community funds of knowledge to enrich curriculum? 
   
   
   
  ● How can educators center the needs of the student within the classroom? 
   
   
   
  ● How can educators support Haitian Creole-speaking students?

  The Sociology of Urban Life -...

  Urban sociology is the study of social life and human interaction in metropolitan environments. It is a field that explores the complex dynamics between individuals, communities, and institutions in urban settings. As cities continue to grow and transform, urban sociology provides invaluable insights into the structure and functioning of urban life, offering a lens through which we can understand how cities shape the behaviors, values, and relationships of their inhabitants. 
  The origins of urban sociology trace back to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the 19th century. As people moved from rural areas to cities in search of better economic opportunities, new social challenges emerged, leading scholars to examine the effects of urban environments on social structures and individual behaviors. Urban sociologists have long been concerned with the ways in which cities influence issues like inequality, social mobility, family dynamics, crime, and community organization. 
  One of the central themes in urban sociology is the concept of social organization. Cities are intricate systems, with diverse populations, complex economies, and a wide range of institutions such as schools, businesses, governments, and religious organizations. Each of these institutions plays a vital role in shaping how people interact with one another and how they navigate their lives in an urban context. By studying these systems, urban sociologists seek to understand how cities function as both social entities and as arenas of competition, cooperation, and conflict.

  The Importance of Being Urban -...

  David A. Gamson

  From the 1890s through World War II, the greatest hopes of American progressive reformers lay not in the government, the markets, or other seats of power but in urban school districts and classrooms. The Importance of Being Urban focuses on four western school systems—in Denver, Oakland, Portland, and Seattle—and their efforts to reconfigure public education in the face of rapid industrialization and the perceived perils of the modern city. In an era of accelerated immigration, shifting economic foundations, and widespread municipal shake-ups, reformers argued that the urban school district could provide the broad blend of social, cultural, and educational services needed to prepare students for twentieth-century life. These school districts were a crucial force not only in orchestrating educational change, but in delivering on the promise of democracy. David A. Gamson’s book provides eye-opening views of the histories of American education, urban politics, and the Progressive Era.

  Factfulness by Hans Rosling is a thought-provoking exploration of why people consistently misunderstand the state of the world. Through engaging stories and compelling data, Rosling challenges ten common instincts—such as fear, generalization, and negativity—that distort our worldview. The book highlights how, despite widespread pessimism, the world is improving in areas like health, education, and poverty. Blending science, history, and personal anecdotes, Factfulness encourages readers to adopt a fact-based perspective, fostering critical thinking and optimism. It’s a guide to understanding global progress and seeing the world through a clearer, more rational lens.
