Teaching Diverse Learners
Principles for Best Practice



November 2010 | 200 pages | Corwin
This book provides an easily accessible, user-friendly guide to issues of cultural and linguistic diversity, particularly as they impact the identification, instruction, and assessment of students with special education needs.

This book includes:

- Ready-to-use activities for observation, assessment, and/or planning

- Flow charts, tables, and bulleted lists to make key concepts accessible

- Guiding questions at the beginning of each chapter to provide teachers with concrete ways to begin reflecting on, and implementing, culturally responsive teaching practices for students within their school communities

- A list of key concepts at the beginning and a glossary at the end of the book for easy access to core terms and concepts.
