For The New Teacher: How To Handle Race In The Classroom
Other People's Children by Lisa Delpit
Today, I had the pleasure of addressing staff members for the Nativity New York Schools orientation at Regis High School today. Anyone who knows me knows I went Xavier, so there’s a certain tension going into “enemy” territory. Nonetheless, I found the energy of the crowd refreshing, and I also knew how much I needed to reciprocate. Blame it on having the after-lunch slot for my presentation.
In any case, I left a list of books I thought the audience should read (if they haven’t) that would help them get better as educators:
- Other People’s Children by Lisa Delpit
- The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-Time by Mark Haddon
