What Every Teacher Should Know About Diverse Learners

This second edition of the bestseller presents critical information about teaching diverse learners and demonstrates how teachers can ensure every student’s academic success. Updated throughout, the book reflects new data about the brain, the need for a variety of strategies, and the value of using visual and kinesthetic tools. The author provides a teacher’s checklist for working with diversity and helps readers consider: the impact of factors such as socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity; signs of personal bias involving language, stereotypes, exclusion, and selectivity; teaching strategies that focus on the learner’s attention, cognition, memory, and self-system; and, setting high expectations for learners.
