The color of teaching

"In an attempt to move beyond the superficial and simplistic responses as to why students of color are not entering teaching, The Color of Teaching presents in-depth interviews with over two hundred persons of color from four ethnic groups: African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Latinos in the United States." "These interviewees, many of them teachers or education professionals, express their attitude towards teaching and their understanding of why students of color may not be selecting teaching as a career." "The Color of Teaching will appeal to a wide audience of teachers in training and in practice, educational policy makers, and educational administrators."--Jacket.
