Synopsis

New Teacher's Performance-Based Guide to Culturally Diverse Classrooms will help new teachers prepare to teach in culturally diverse classrooms in a straightforward, reflective format.

This text is designed for both new teacher education students and those students completing their student teaching experience. The content of the text is performance-based and is designed for professional education classes and student teaching seminars. Students using the text will essentially become co-authors as they complete various in-text interactive and reflective activities.

The text clearly presents the latest information on teacher effectiveness and providing "culturally responsive instruction" in today's classrooms. Cultural differences influence classroom instruction and the performance of all students. Teachers need to understand diversity and to develop a teaching style that both respects and capitalizes on the strengths of all students. Practical lists are provided throughout the text to demonstrate exactly how teachers can accommodate their teaching styles to meet the diverse learning styles of students who speak a non-standard dialect and those students whose native language is not English.
