This was my homework book, and I more or less agree with everything it had to say. That said, it's message for application is basically: analyze, reflect, analyze, reflect and keep repeating until you are good at being culturally responsive. There isn't much in the way of specific strategies, but there's a lot of really good brain research to back up making changes in your classroom. The information in here is all fairly obvious when you're reading the book, but less obvious in the heat of the moment in a hectic school with deadlines and testing, so I think it's important to read books like it to remind ourselves as educators what the actual best practices are.
