Subject: PUBLICATION> Rosa Hernandez Sheets Publishes New Book
AERA member Rosa Hernandez Sheets of Texas Tech University
has recently authored "Diversity Pedagogy: Examining the Role
of Culture in the Teaching-Learning Process."
The book is described as follows:
"The first in its field to demonstrate and explicate the
interconnectedness of culture and cognition to the teaching-learning
process, Diversity Pedagogy: Examining The Role Of Culture In The
Teaching-Learning Process promotes successful services for more
students, especially those from underserved communities. This text
introduces a new theory–diversity pedagogy–constructs explicit
applications to practice by providing examples of real-life classroom
situations throughout, ultimately uniting schooling, culture, and
psychology."

Posted by roge0229 at October 7, 2004 1:00 PMI checked for this book in the Wilson library, and of course, it's so new that they don't have it. I found some other stuff by Rosa Hernandez Sheets, though. Perhaps you each might be able to check on her work as well. I found an edited work entitled Racial and Ethnic Identity in School Practices: Aspects of Human Development. Difficult to draw direct connections between chapters in this book and dual immersion explicitly, but there are some elements of cultural context in school settings. I see more connections with school administrative and counseling perspectives than language teaching.
