Education Across Borders explores the systemic disadvantages faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and first-generation students within the U.S. educational system, highlighting the correlation between non-inclusive environments and increased dropout rates, stress, and anxiety. Three educators, drawing from their own experiences as immigrants, advocate for culturally relevant pedagogy as a crucial tool to combat racial inequity and ensure student success. Education Across Borders aims to benefit white educators in particular, offering reflections and strategies for valuing the diverse experiences of their students.
Focusing on Haitian and Dominican students, the authors explore the specific challenges faced by immigrant and first-generation learners. They delve into the intersections of language policies and social justice, the use of culturally relevant teaching and community knowledge to enhance curriculum, student-centered classroom practices, and strategies for supporting Haitian Creole-speaking students. The book serves as a practical guide for creating inclusive classrooms that foster the academic and emotional well-being of all students, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds.
