Some chapters are better then others. This is a good book for those beginning to learn about being culturally proficient. I felt like many of the chapters were very repetitive but still some good bits of knowledge in there.

Solid professional development activities that lead to genuine conversation about equity.

This book provides some useful frameworks for administrators who seek to create culturally sensitive schools. Two extended hypothetical case studies help illustrate the principles being taught.

A lot of great information just not very well presented. It also requires you to purchase more books if you want more details.
