Written by Gloria Ladson-Billings

Narrated by Sanya Simmons

Discover how to give African American children the education they deserve with this updated new resource

In the newly revised Third Edition of The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Children, distinguished professor Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings delivers an encouraging exploration of the future of education for African American students. She describes eight exemplary teachers, all of whom differ in their personal style and methods, who share an approach to teaching that affirms and strengthens cultural identity.

In this mixture of scholarship and storytelling, you'll learn how to create intellectually rigorous and culturally relevant classrooms that have the power to improve the lives of all children. This important book teaches: what successful teachers do, don't do, and what we can learn from them; why it's so important for teachers to work with the unique strengths each student brings to the classroom; and how to improve educational outcomes for African American children across the country. Perfect for teachers, parents, school leaders, and administrators, The Dreamkeepers will also earn a place in the libraries of school boards, professors of education, and urban sociologists, as well as anyone with an interest in issues of race and education.

Reviews for The Dreamkeepers

After reading so many other books about culturally relevant pedagogy, I finally got around to reading one of the originals and it was so helpful, especially now as a doctoral student, to hear her framework and methodology for the research that is foundational to culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogy.
