| Summary, etc.: | "Distilling strategies and insights gathered over years of success, Dr. Ariza equips mainstream teachers with the background, understanding, and methods needed to teach effectively in culturally diverse classrooms. She explores several cultural groups in-depth, giving mainstream teachers an understanding of how students' cultural values are expressed in beliefs and behaviors. Understanding why students behave the way they do - and how our American cultural lens may cause misperceptions - helps teachers to respond appropriately and promotes congruity between teacher and student interaction. Building on this foundation of understanding, the author describes effective instructional practices that mainstream teachers may use to address a range of classroom scenarios, including detailed examples of how to modify curriculum for English learners with various levels of language proficiency."--Jacket. |
