This Is Not A Test: A New Narrative on Race, Class, and Education by Pedro A. Noguera, Karen Lewis, Jose Vilson

4.0

As an outsider to the field of education, this was both informative and accessible. I learned the most from Vilson's classroom anecdotes and glimpses into school administration. However, some of the bits about conferences were thick with name dropping and referenced issues that I just don't have the domain knowledge to appreciate. I found this book's parts on education conferencing to be some of its least successful or enlightening bits. However, as an adult without children who doesn't work in education, I acknowledge that I'm probably not the intended audience for this piece.
