Review:

"The topics will be helpful to teachers especially in these times of high stakes accountability. These strategies will provide teachers with the tools that will ensure that they comply with the No Child Left Behind law." Author: Steve Hutton Published On: 2005-06-21

"It has been a while since a useful book in the field of teaching diverse learners has come along and I can’t wait to share it with my faculty to allow every teacher to better accommodate our diverse learners...I love the clear organization and outline, as well as the reader friendly chapters with sources listed at the end of every chapter. The book provides teacher-friendly strategies that make it easy to accommodate the needs of diverse learners in every classroom. Finally, a book that shows every teacher ways to accommodate students with diverse learning needs! Thank you!" Author: Verena Shanin Published On: 2005-06-17

"...the book address some very important topics that are at times difficult to even talk about let alone address in print." Author: Thomas S.C. Farrell Published On: 2005-06-15

"I have to admit this is one of the best three books I have ever reviewed for Corwin...coming from an urban environment, the authors have done a great job. This book is a wonderful contribution to the field." Author: William Sommers Published On: 2005-06-26

"Right away, the importance of this book is established, since educators need to increase their MC knowledge due to changing demographics and rising expectations. Sarah McNary says it best when she states how there is no one definition of culture and no single technique that works every time. That sums up the complexity of this issue for educators" Author: Toby Karten Published On: 2005-06-29
