Cultural Learning in Urban Schools and Minority Serving Institutions cover

Examines how K-16 educators learn across cultural differences between themselves and students from low-income and minoritized communities.

This book examines how K-16 educators in urban schools and minority-serving institutions (MSIs) navigate student-teacher cultural differences. It addresses the psychological impact of these differences on educators as they learn, often independently, to manage diverse classrooms and foster more effective student-teacher relationships in real time.This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the social and organizational factors shaping K-16 teachers' cultural learning processes, through both a systematic review of the extant literature on K-12 urban teacher thinking and interviews with instructional staff at a high-performing minority-serving institution (MSI). It highlights common challenges K-16 educators face in navigating cultural differences between themselves and their students. Drawing from cultural psychology, organizational behavior, and organizational psychology, the book offers evidence-based strategies for creating school systems where educators working with students from low-income and other minoritized cultural communities can critically examine and challenge their cultural assumptions to create more inclusive and supportive learning environments for all students, as well as develop and implement more culturally responsive classroom management practices.
