"My Evaluation"
Having read Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu's book entitled: 100+ Educational Strategies To Teach Childen of Color, and discussed it with several colleagues, my overall judgment is based on the following 3 reasons why I like this publication:
1. Dr. Kunjufu uses carefully crafted vocabulary which makes the book easy to understand. He devotes 12 detailed chapters based on his 35 year experience in providing school in-service workshops, and gives us the benefit of his experience.
2. Granted, more dialogue could be utilized, more references to high school applications could be made, but he clearly makes the point that teachers should care about all students and make a difference in their lives.
3. I like the fact that many of the techniques he presented are already being used by our teachers, especially in the last chapter on pedagogy, where he gives test-taking techniques.
