The Dreamkeepers : Successful Teachers of African American Children
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


Dreamkeepers is a groundbreaking and inspirational book that just might make you want to become a teacher. Ladson-Billings presents the stories of eight teachers, both black and white, in predominantly black school districts who have managed to do what the American public school system as a whole has failed miserably at: teaching African-American students in a way that engages them and helps them learn (and WANT to learn) by playing to their strengths and experiences.
