Culture, Schooling, and Children's Learning Experiences
«Effective education of multicultural and cross-cultural populations is one of the profound challenges of our times. To help negotiate that challenge, the new book Culture, Schooling and Children's Learning Experiences by Robyn M. Holmes and Jaipaul L. Roopnarine gathers up-to-date policy and practice accounts from experts across the globe. The well-worn advice to "think global and act local" comprises a valuable lesson of the book: while there are recurring themes such as needed equity and reciprocity, the solutions must also honor learners' local culture, identity, and ways of learning. Used in receptive (early childhood) settings, play is highlighted as a vehicle for collaborative, mutually transformative education.»

«This book is essential to those interested in expanding their views on the varying cultural factors related to children's schooling experiences across communities. It contributes significantly to understanding how culture and children's schooling experiences are dynamically related. The findings presented inform ways of facilitating children's learning experiences in schools, particularly for minority and indigenous children whose ways of learning and experiences are often overlooked in mainstream educational practices.»

«Schools aim to prepare children for participation in adult life in emerging contexts. However, navigating the complex terrain of educational practice has been fraught with serious challenges. Featuring a wide range of interdisciplinary and international scholars, Holmes and Roopnarine have achieved the monumental task of building synthesis through in-depth examination of cultural diversity in educational policy and practice. This volume is a valuable resource for students, scholars, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of Education.»
