A New York Times Best Seller

Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, a prominent scholar offers a new approach to teaching and learning for every stakeholder in urban education.

Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color and merging his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America, award-winning educator Christopher Emdin offers a new lens on an approach to teaching and learning in urban schools. For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y'all Too is the much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the landscape of urban education for the better.

He begins by taking to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student's culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning.

Putting forth his theory of Reality Pedagogy, Emdin provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators alike--both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the "Seven C's" of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education.

Durable and great color
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
I’m so happy with these orange tennis balls! They’re the perfect size for Roxy’s ball launcher, and the bright orange color makes them super easy to find—no more losing them in the grass! Roxy goes wild for them, and they’re holding up really well even with all her chomping and fetching. If you’re looking for fun, durable balls that stand out, these are a winner!

Cheap but good for what we do!
Color: Dark Blue
I wouldn't play tennis with them -- not that quality. However, we use a chuck-it thrower for our pooch and it's the perfect ball. When she's rips them open it's no big loss. Chinese.

Good Quality but Lose Bounce Over Time
Color: Yellow
Solid tennis balls overall, but after a couple of weeks of daily use they start losing pressure. Still a great deal for casual games or practice.

My dogs are obsessed with these
Color: Multicolour, Color: Multicolour
Red, Molly, and Karma are absolutely obsessed with these tennis balls. They’re bright and easy to spot outside in the grass, hold up surprisingly well during rough play, and don’t immediately shred apart like a lot of dog toys do. Great for fetch and everyday play time — definitely a favorite in our house.
