Product Description:
Once again, in this expanded Second Edition, Gary Howard outlines what good teachers know, what they do, and how they embrace culturally responsive teaching. Howard brings his bestselling book completely up to date with today’s school reform efforts and includes a new introduction and a new chapter that speak directly to current issues such as closing the achievement gap, and to recent legislation such as No Child Left Behind. With our nation’s student population becoming ever more diverse, and teachers remaining largely White, this book is now more important than ever. A must-read in universities and school systems throughout the country, We Can’t Teach What We Don’t Know continues to facilitate and deepen the discussion of race and social justice in education.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Review of G. Howard's book
I did not care for this book. I did not care for the conclusions that Gary Howard drew from his experiences in the 60's. I thought the book was off center.
Rating:  - Wouldn't read it if I were you
This book really did not cover what the title seemed to imply, the main point that the author seemed to try to be making is that of white dominance and how to overcome it. I didn't read this book to learn about white dominance I wanted to learn more about how to teach what I don't know. The author just stated things that I already knew instead of offering practical advice on how to teach multicultural students.
Rating:  - We Can't Teach What We Don't Know
I purchased the book for a class. The book has more application for gradeschool and highschool teachers.
Rating: - It's all about gary
I had the chance to meet the author during a conference to review this book and his work. I was looking forward to hearing about his approach for improving relationships between races. What a disappointment, we could even make it to the stage of having a trusting conversation. I felt my religious beliefs were under attack and he was not open to an honest and complete conversation.
Gary Howard is not the spokes person for white males ... nor is he the spoke person for improving cultural relationships. He speaks for promoting himself and making money.... any another false prophet making a profit.
Rating: - Important, yet Dense
This is a good read, Howard presents the issues well. It is thought provoking, and an important text (especially for people with no experience of other cultures). However, it could also have been 20 pages instead of 121 pages. There is a lot of repetition. Also the writing is dense, it seems like it was written for his colleagues.
Two stars overall
