What Difference Does Difference Make? Teacher Reflections on Diversity, Literacy, and the Urban Primary School

Author(s): Anne Haas Dyson

Elementary schoolteachers share stories of teaching and learning, testifying to the teachers' ability to engage young people in active learning—and that difference does make a difference. From frustration to celebration, the day-to-day life of the classroom is discussed by a group of dedicated educators striving to adapt to the ever-changing face of the urban classroom. Essays on the "Yin-Yang" of teaching, preaching what we practice, and making time for what we value close the book.
