Sinopsis:

Reseña del editor: This new resource describes the language of African American children, contrasts it from disordered communication, and recommends applications that are practical for working with African American children in the classroom. It provides a broad context to increase understanding of differences, and how these differences affect teachers, teaching, learning and academic outcomes of African American students. It examines these differences vs. deficits and disorders and discusses the overrepresentation of Black males in special education programs. Positive ways of understanding, teaching and recognizing Black children's language, culture, and learning styles are covered. Clashes between Black children's home expectations and school expectations are illustrated. Examples are given on how to bridge this gap in a culturally sensitive and effective manner.
