Autorenporträt
Ana Maria Klein is Assistant Professor in SUNY Fredonia's College of Education where she teaches cultural studies and mathematics methods. Professor Klein holds a Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. Her dissertation on the language of problem-solving led her to publish her first book, Learning How Children Process Mathematical Problems and subsequently motivated her to look at the linguistic and cultural aspects of teaching. Dr. Klein has currently published several articles in the multicultural arena where she focuses on teacher-education. She is a fluent speaker of four languages, has been an elementary classroom teacher for more than 25 years and continues to appreciate the validity of the culture and language as a problem solving activity.
Rezensionen
Klein's thin and powerful volume is a wake-up call to all teachers, teacher-candidates, and preservice teachers that multicultural awarenes should be a core in teacher preparation and continuing education. Klein's practical guide assists us all in becoming aware and informed reflective practitioners... Klein ends by discussing popular culture and how it shapes our thinking about multicultural education. She aruges persuasively for all involved in the preparation of citizens of the world to be celebratory and transforming in our multicultural educative efforts-to teach with the values of empathy, equity, and excellence in mind. -- Anthony Edwards, Univ. of South Carolina Multicultural Review
