Although this book is about achieving educational equality in the United States, because the problem is a reflection of a worldwide problem, educational inequality at home in a global context is examined and many examples are used from other parts of the world. Part One describes the role that governments play in causing educational inequality and what they can do to help eliminate it. Part Two examines the ways in which the schools foster inequality and how they can transform them into a force for educational equality. And, finally, Part Three discusses the negative effects of university teacher preparation programs and how they should be improved. After reading this book, there should be no doubt left as to what needs to be done to assure all students an equal opportunity to succeed in school, regardless of their ethnic and socioeconomic class background, gender, English proficiency or sexual orientation.
