Benefits to Typically Developing Children of Learning Alongside Children with Disabilities References About the Author IndexReviewsA plethora of books point out the problems public schools currently face, but Verschelden, via a 'bandwidth recovery' blueprint, empowers readers to promote student success within their communities, especially among Black, Latinx, Asian American, and indigenous students who may have greater needs. The first half of the book identifies bandwidth stealers while the latter part identifies bandwidth recovery methods for students, parents, and teachers. A final section presents a case study, a chapter intended specifically for principals and superintendents, and an epilogue that discusses the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommended. From the Foreword: U.S. schools are not currently designed to work for many marginalized students; they only work for a few students. Indeed, this book is about the future of U.S. public schools, our children and our nation. It is about creating educational environs wherein all children can be successful. And Verschelden reminds us that--as currently constructed--schools are not capable of doing this. Verschelden's message is one of extreme optimism--a critical need given our current circumstances. All of our children have such tremendous qualities and strengths; we just need to acknowledge them and (enable then to) take advantage of them. --Kofi Lomotey Western Carolina University To solve a problem, you need to ask the right questions. In BandwidthRecovery for Schools, Cia Verschelden is asking the right questions about the impact of poverty, trauma, racism and social marginalization on school children, their families, and their teachers. Most importantly, she is providing much-needed answers that can help students thrive even when facing adversity. Every educator should read this book!--Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D., Author, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations about Race From the Foreword: U.S. schools are not currently designed to work for many marginalized students; they only work for a few students.
