- Summary:
- The children in America's classrooms are changing in complexion and complexity, which makes teaching students with diverse backgrounds one of the greatest challenges you'll face. Administrators are also under pressure to "close the achievement gap" between White and Asian students and their racial and ethnically diverse counterparts.
- So how do you make sure all of your students learn when nearly 40% of U.S. citizens are racial or ethnic minorities who may see the world through a completely different cultural lens than you do? This reflective workbook for reaching and teaching students of varied backgrounds offers successful strategies for all subjects and grade levels.
