Book Description
And Cory knew it would be soon. He'd already seen the hooded man from his bedroom window, looking up, ready to strike, a grisly but familiar figure ever since his best friend, Fred, was killed in a tragic accident. There had been four of them once -- Fred, Cory, Frank, and Miles -- playing a fraternity prank. But Fred had fallen as they were trying to steal the bell atop the town's historic Meeting House. Cory's world stopped as his friend fell facedown to the earth, dead, gone forever. Fred hadn't even wanted to steal the bell. The hooded man blamed Cory for Fred's death. He blamed him, Frank, and Miles -- and he wanted revenge. There would be no peace for Cory or the others until they discovered who the stalker was, until they stopped him from committing murder. Unless one of them was murdered first...

Pages : 234
Book Description
A New York Times Best Seller "Essential reading for all adults who work with black and brown young people...Filled with exceptional intellectual sophistication and necessary wisdom for the future of education."—Imani Perry, National Book Award Winner author of South To America An award-winning educator offers a much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the landscape of urban education for the better Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color, Dr. Christopher Emdin has merged his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America. He takes to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student’s culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning. Putting forth his theory of Reality Pedagogy, Emdin provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators alike—both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the “Seven Cs” of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education.
