This groundbreaking book highlights strategies, case studies, and theories that can change the face of education. These words are first-person accounts by fresh voices doing the day-to-day work that is engaging diverse students and families around the world. Highlights include:

• Anti-bullying efforts including a project in a Brooklyn school to help elementary students deconstruct stereotypes and construct their own messages about identity; and a landmark Learning Guide for students and adults in the U.K. Pakistan and the U.S., encouraging them to open their eyes to their biases about "the other;"
• Strategies for engaging English Languages Learners who have made little progress for years, even when they were born in the U.S.;
• A transformative structure for understanding the stages of Immigrant Parent Involvement in School which can reinvent parents engagement efforts.  
• A case study of Neighborhood School Readiness Teams that smooth transitions to kindergarten by connecting disperse elements of the community;
• A case study for developing future teachers who are culturally-competent, through the lens of the landmark Indian Education For All Act;
• A unique eye-opening view into the two contrasting personal worlds navigated by immigrant high school students each day, revealed with stark authenticity by two high-achieving students.
• The courageous leadership of principals fighting for equity in schools filled with students of diverse backgrounds, as well as schools where students who are not white and middle-class have been a marginalized minority.
• Personal insights from teachers across the United States, Canada, Australia  Pakistan, and England.
