Bandwidth recovery : helping students reclaim cognitive resources lost to poverty, racism, and social marginalization
Cia Verschelden (Author)
"This book argues that the cognitive resources for learning of over half our young people have been diminished by the negative effects of economic insecurity, discrimination, and hostility against nonmajority groups based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity, and other aspects of difference. Recognizing that these students are no different than their peers in terms of cognitive capacity, Verschelden presents strategies for promoting a growth mind-set and self-efficacy, developing supports that build upon students' values and prior knowledge, and creating learning environments in and out of the classroom so students can feel a sense of belonging and community"-- Provided by publisher
