"The populations of today's classrooms are increasingly diverse - in terms of literacy levels, English proficiency, special education needs, and social, economic, and racial backgrounds. The chapters in this book provide practical guidelines for implementing programs in elementary and middle schools that help "create truly diverse communities of learners, learning from and about one another."" "The authors incorporate a wide variety of techniques, from explicit instruction to discovery-oriented approaches, in the areas of reading, mathematics and writing. For optimal teaching and learning, they recommend an eclectic combination of teaching approaches - for example, embedding the teaching of reading and writing skills in content-area learning. Such integration allows greater flexibility for meeting the needs of a broad range of students, while enhancing skill development and content learning."--BOOK JACKET.
