Looking at data is not enough. Teachers have to know who are their students. This book show how to provide professional development that deepens teacher's cultural understanding. "Developing Critical cultural Competence" helps educators translate new knowledge into action with activities that focus on the three inseparable insights required for developing teachers' critical cultural competency: understanding themselves, understanding their students, understanding their studens' families and communities.
