Drawing on his own experience of sense undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a man of color, and merging his experience with more when compared to a decade of coaching and researching in urban America, award-winning educator Christopher Emdin offers a new lens on a procedure for coaching and learning in urban schools. He begins by firmly taking to process the understanding of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and value each student's culture and also to reimagine the school room as a site where functions are reversed and students end up being the experts in their own learning. Putting forth his theory of truth pedagogy, Emdin provides sensible tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators as well - both of whom have been typecast and stymied by out-of-date modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and participating new pedagogical perspective, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family composition and building neighborhoods within the school room, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and joining the experience of urban youth to indigenous populations internationally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin shows how by implementing the "Seven C's" of truth pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color reap the benefits of truly transformative education. Lively, accessible, and revelatory, For White Folks Who Coach in the Hood...and the others of Y'all Too is the much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and pledges to radically reframe the surroundings of urban education for the better.
