This volume highlights approaches to closing the achievement gap for

students of color across K-12 and post-secondary schooling. It uniquely

examines factors outside the classroom to consider how these influence

student identity and academic performance.

Teaching to Close the Achievement Gap for Students of Color offers

wide-ranging chapters that explore non-curricular issues including

trauma, family background, restorative justice, refugee experiences, and

sport as determinants of student and teacher experiences in the classroom.

Through rigorous empirical and theoretical engagement, chapters

identify culturally responsive strategies for supporting students as they

navigate formal and informal educational opportunities and overcome

intersectional barriers to success. In particular, chapters highlight how

these approaches can be nurtured through teacher education, effective

educational leadership, and engagement across the wider community.

This insightful collection will be of interest to researchers, scholars,

and post-graduate students in the fields of teacher education, sociology

of education, and educational leadership.
