What Successful Teachers Do in Diverse Classrooms

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the authors focus on culturally responsive teaching and diverse learners, including students who are economically disadvantaged, from sexual minorities, English language learners, with special needs, and more. Using a convenient format that teachers, trainers, and administrators find appealing, the authors have surveyed and selected the best published data and research on diversity and multicultural education and synthesized it for classroom application and teaching.

Each of the research-based strategies in the book includes:

A concise description of the recommended strategy

A brief synthesis of the research that supports use of the strategy

Guidelines for applying the strategy in the classroom

Precautions about avoiding pitfalls that may occur during implementation of the strategy

Source citations for further research and follow-up

This book will be an ideal companion title for teachers already using the authors' book on research-based strategies for working with special learners in inclusive classrooms.
