Summary: I do Not recommend this book.
Review: I was disappointed after finishing Crossing Over to Canaan. Some parts of the book were helpful such as: * Describing how the old beliefs of teaching effect the demands on (new) teachers * Theories of pedagogy * Reflective Practice * more. For the most part, however, I was quite bored and have read more helpful books than this. The book is coated in quotes taken from the different grad students journals about their experiences with Teach for Diversity. Very few - if any - strategies are shared about teaching in a diverse classroom. I was expecting something different than what it was. Please browse through the book before purchasing to see if it's what you're looking for!

Summary: Attention New Teachers
Review: This book has useful information for any person wanting to persue teaching, especially in a urban classroom. Diversity in the classroom is more prevalent now and teachers are not prepared.
