Judith H. Shulman and Amalia Mesa-Bains, The Far West Laboratory (1993, pages)This publication offers 13 dramatic accounts of real-life classroom dilemmas written by veteran inner-city teachers who work with students in multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, multi-racial classrooms. Intended as a basis for discussion in preservice and inservice seminars, these cases focus on the teacher-student relationship. They help teachers examine not just barriers of language and customs but also deeper, more troubling aspects of the classroom exchange: how unrecognized psychological undercurrents of race, culture, and class can obstruct teaching and learning. Commentaries written by teachers, administrators, and scholars follow each case and provide a range of perspectives.
