Exploring Cultural Competence in Professional Development Schools

<p>This book examines the ways in which PDSs build cultural competence for various stakeholders including pre-service teachers classroom teachers school leaders college faculty and K-12 students. Given the increased national attention on the opportunity gap present in underserved marginalized communities across the country the authors in this series identify a combination of research-based practices and institutional changes that increase student attainment and develop educators’ capacity to serve a range of diverse learners. We are certain the timeliness of the topic will provide educators with context for understanding the role PDSs play in the creation of culturally responsive schools.  </p><p> </p>
