 Start Where You Are, But Don't Stay There

This book focuses on a discussion about the opportunity gaps in today's diverse classrooms and how to effectively teach in that context.  It is organized around case studies using teachers of different ethnicities in the contexts of both suburban and urban schools.  It includes general information about teaching in the context of diversity and operates with the framework of both diversity and opportunity gaps.  

I chose this book because of the case study structure.  I learn well by concrete example, and I often think discussions surrounding diversity can easily become vague and abstract.  This book offers these discussions within a more concrete context.
