In her long-awaited second book, the award-winning educator and author of Other Peoples Children reflects on the last 15 years of educational reform effortsNincluding No Child Left Behind, standardized testing, alternative teacher certification paths, and the charter school movementNthat have left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher educational achievement is not for them. nFrom the MacArthur Award-winning education reformer and author of the bestselling Other Peoples Children, a long-awaited new book on how to fix the persistent black/white achievement gap in Americas public schools n nAs MacArthur Award-winning educator Lisa Delpit reminds us--and as all research shows--there is no achievement gap at birth. In her long-awaited second book, Delpit presents a striking picture of the elements of contemporary public education that conspire against the prospects for poor children of color, creating a persistent gap in achievement during the school years that has eluded several decades of reform.n nDelpits bestselling and paradigm-shifting first book, Other Peoples Children, focused on cultural slippage in the classroom between white teachers and students of color. Now, in Multiplication Is for White People, Delpit reflects on two decades of reform efforts--including No Child Left Behind, standardized testing, the creation of alternative teacher certification paths, and the charter school movement--that have still left a generation of poor children of color feeling that higher educational achievement isnt for them.n nIn chapters covering primary, middle, and high school, as well as college, Delpit concludes that its not that difficult to explain the persistence of the achievement gap. In her wonderful trademark style, punctuated with telling classroom anecdotes and informed by time spent at dozens of schools across the country, Delpit outlines an inspiring and uplifting blueprint for raising expectations for other peoples children, based on the simple premise that multiplication--and every aspect of advanced education--is for everyone.n
