520    "Case Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education 
       offers pre- and in-service educators an opportunity to 
       analyze and reflect upon a variety of realistic case 
       studies related to educational equity and social justice. 
       Each case, written in an engaging, narrative style, 
       presents a complex but common classroom scenario in which 
       an inequity or injustice is in play. These cases allow 
       educators to practice the process of considering a range 
       of contextual factors, checking their own biases, and 
       making immediate- and longer-term decisions about how to 
       create and sustain equitable learning environments for all
       students.The book begins with a seven-point process for 
       examining case studies. Largely lacking from existing case
       study collections, this framework guides readers through 
       the process of identifying, examining, reflecting on, and 
       taking concrete steps to resolve challenges related to 
       diversity and equity in schools. The cases themselves 
       present everyday examples of the ways in which racism, 
       sexism, homophobia and heterosexism, class inequities, 
       language bias, religious-based oppression, and other 
       equity and diversity concerns affect students, teachers, 
       families, and other members of our school communities. 
       They involve classroom issues that are relevant to all 
       grade levels and all content areas, allowing significant 
       flexibility in how and with whom they are used. Although 
       organized topically, the intersection of these issues are 
       stressed throughout the cases, reflecting the multi-
       faceted way they play out in real life. All cases conclude
       with a series of questions to guide discussion and a 
       section of facilitator notes, called points for 
       consideration. This unique feature provides valuable 
       insight for understanding the complexities of each case"
