This book is a comprehensive tool for teachers, which highlights many strategies the teacher can incorporate into their best practices at the secondary level
This book has en excellent layout and materials are all accurate and cited properly. The authors do a great job to limit bias, even discussing bias and equitable teaching
This book is an excellent resource for secondary teachers, as it offers simple to follow tools to utilize in the classroom. Each chapter comes with a video to describe the lessons and their use in the classroom, as well, which is very relevant and helpful.
This book is written well for the reader to utilize, as the reader is likely a secondary educator
The style of the book is to incorporate the ideas and lessons from a variety of authors. This strategy is made consistent by the layout of the chapters and how the lessons are formatted.
The layout of these modules are very easy to digest and understand.
The order and pacing of the content is well organized
The interface is simple to use and understand
The text is grammatically accurate and I could see no evidence of typos throughout
The first chapter introduces the concept of residential segregation, which introduces the concepts surrounding equity and inclusion within our teaching practices. The book incorporates the ideas of many different teachers from all backgrounds.
I think this is a great resource and I love the availability for teachers. It is relevant and I could see this being used as a required text in a class for secondary teachers. Very well done and well formatted
