In School is a Place Where We All Belong, author Liz Dempsey Lee presents a transformative approach to classroom management. Traditional methods focused on discipline and external control often fall short, marginalizing students with specific social identities. Lee advocates for building a classroom community that emphasizes inclusivity and belonging, addressing biases and enhancing student outcomes across academic, socioemotional, and other measures. This approach not only meets the needs of all students but also prepares them for the collaborative, problem-solving demands of the modern workplace.
Ideal for courses on classroom management, practicums, education equity, and professionals such as social workers, school counselors, and administrators working to support inclusive educational environments.
