Teaching for Diversity

In Teaching for Diversity (third edition), the author argues that increasing student diversity in classrooms across North America places two imperatives on educators: They must learn effective strategies for teaching diverse groups of students, and they must integrate skills for accepting and thriving in diverse groups into their teaching. The book incorporates a broad overview of the history of schooling and historic attitudes toward diversity in education to a specific treatment of the needs and objectives of today's schools. Utilizing a combination of theory and concrete examples, the book constructs a vision of schools as the foundation for an inclusive, democratic society. This essential and accessible resource is for educators working in all subject areas and grade levels.
