Funds of knowledge

"The concept of "funds of knowledge" is based on a simple premise: people are competent and have knowledge, and their life experiences have given them that knowledge. The claim in this book is that first-hand research experiences with families allow one to document this competence and knowledge, and that such engagement provides many possibilities for positive pedagogical actions." "Drawing from both Vygotskian and neo-sociocultural perspectives in designing a methodology that views the everyday practices of language and action as constructing knowledge, the funds of knowledge approach facilitates a systematic and powerful way to represent communities in terms of the resources they possess and how to harness them for classroom teaching." "Funds of Knowledge: Theorizing Practices in Households, Communities, and Classrooms is for all teachers and teachers-to-be, and for researchers and graduate students of language, culture, and education."--BOOK JACKET
