Biredam, a counselor and educational consultant who specializes in racial disparity in discipline and the racial achievement gap, provides administrators and teachers with information on the behaviors and precipitating factors that increase the potential for African American students, especially males, to be referred for disciplinary actions. She explains the cultural communication style, beliefs, and assumptions of African American students that affect teacher-student relationships, and strategies that can be used to reduce the frequency of disciplinary referrals and actions. She also discusses the impact of No Child Left Behind and high stakes testing, stereotyping, and Hispanic/Latino culture. This edition incorporates two new chapters and addresses the relationship between the discipline and achievement gaps and the ways in which authoritarian, punitive, and controlling school climates contribute to disciplinary events. There is no index. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
