Unseen Unheard and Misunderstood: Access and Equity in Education

Are you a culturally-aware educator? Do you have a vague sense that things in the world are changing and that your classrooms and schools are becoming increasingly diverse? Classrooms in the US today. contain students with more varied experiences. Challenges like language barriers, child abuse, poverty, and living in an increasingly dangerous world have led to a surge in mental illness among children and teens of all backgrounds. The book delves into these issues with a positive attitude and specific advice on how you can tackle the real problems your students are dealing with nearly every day. Many of these problems interfere with the educational process, leaving those who have them with increasing despair, low self-esteem, and a high risk of failing in school. As an educator, you are in a unique position to have a profound effect on the educational and personal outcomes for those marginalized in the classroom because they are culturally different from you and others, mentally ill, or just "different". As you read this book, you will see the problems that many marginalized students must cope with while also finding practical ways and the inspiration to understand what it now takes to be the best educator you can be for every student!
