Reviews
The model for teacher evaluation proposed in this book is groundbreaking in that it bridges three areas of the instructional context-pedagogy, assessment, and evaluation-with a critical race theory perspective. This highly accessible book makes the difficult work of consciousness raising in the K-12 and teacher education classroom possible for anyone who aims to develop teachers' capacity to improve the educational experiences of historically marginalized communities. It is a must read for teacher educators and administrators. - Zenaida Aguirre-Munoz, University of Houston, USA The authors have created the most important and usable culturally relevant teacher assessment framework that I have ever experienced. The framework is based on humanizing teaching, carino, critical pedagogy, and understanding the political and social realities students of color, bilingual students, and students outside the whitestream middle class have experienced forever. This book should be in every teacher education program nationwide. - Christian Faltis, The Ohio State University, USA This text is wonderful for the ways in which narratives, theoretical grounding, and responsive practice are braided together to illuminate current approaches to teacher evaluation but also to revision/reimagine culturally responsive evaluation. Not only critiquing contemporary approaches to teacher evaluation, this work also demonstrates a new framework for teaching centered in both equity and excellence. - Francisco Rios, Western Washington University, USA Salazar and Learner have written an immensely useful book grounded in their knowledge of practice, their grasp of assessment, culturally relevant pedagogies, and critical race theories, as well as their own experiences as family members, students, and educators. The result is a book that offers a large array of resources and, importantly, a framework for culturally relevant teacher evaluation built on equity and justice. I urge teachers, administrators, teacher educators and policymakers who are committed to humanizing pedagogies to read and use this book in order to work toward a more equitable and just world. - Katherine Schultz, University of Colorado Boulder, USA
