What happens when a teacher does not share a cultural background with her students? In this thoroughly engaging account, one North American teacher describes her three years teaching Haitian children in an innercity preschool. Using classroom research, Cynthia Ballenger explores how teachers who listen closely to children from other cultures can understand the approaches to literature that these children bring with them to school. Practitioners will identify with Ballenger, who struggles to find the academic strengths of children whose parents do not read them bedtime stories or otherwise prepare them for school in ways that are familiar to her. Focusing on three areas crucial to early childhood education (classroom behavior, concepts of print, and storybook reading), this book will challenge many widely held assumptions and cultural perspectives about the education of young children.(A) remarkable book.Together, these observations and conversations add up to a far more powerful example of professional development than many activities dignified and justified by that easy name.From the Foreword by Courtney CazdenAn important and unique contribution to the New Literacy Studies.This work is situated, practicecentered theory at its best.James Gee, University of Wisconsin, MadisonThis book takes us on a wonderful journey into a community of HaitianAmerican learners and what their teacher learned from them.Josiane HudicourtBarnes, Boston Public Schools Office of Bilingual Education
