“City Kids, City Teachers has the potential to create genuine
change in the learning, teaching, and administration of urban public
schools.” —Library Journal In more than twenty-five provocative
selections, an all-star cast of educators and writers explores the
surprising realities of city classrooms from kindergarten through high
school. Contributors including Gloria Ladson-Billings, Lisa Delpit,
June Jordan, Lewis H. Lapham, Audre Lorde, and Deborah Meier move from
the poetic to the practical, celebrating the value of city kids and
their teachers. Useful both as a guide and a call to action for anyone
who teaches or has taught in the city, it is essential reading for
those contemplating teaching in an urban setting and for every parent
with children in a city school today. “Hopeful, helpful
discussions of culturally relevant teaching . . . moving
illustrations of what urban teaching is all about.” —Publishers
Weekly “A refreshing and eclectic collection.” —Alex
Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here “With its upbeat
mix of ready-to-share city kids’ memoirs and classroom strategies,
this book is an inspiring resource for veteran teachers, parents,
community members, and students.” —Educational Leadership
“You’ll feel sad, angry, hopeful, agitated, and inspired.”
