About the Book

Only when several strategies are carefully and systematically integrated will substantial learning become possible. Methods for Teaching in Diverse Middle and Secondary Classrooms is designed to prepare teachers to become proactive and teach their students how to learn by connecting new information with their prior knowledge.

By emphasizing strong pedagogical content skills and being proactive, this book empowers teachers to anticipate coming events, instead of just coping with challenging situations as they occur. The author presents strategies to help teachers understand their students, and know how to meet the needs and interests of all their students so they can attain a high level of achievement.

FEATURES:  

  • Each chapter includes two types of activities designed to help teachers learn how to project and plan for future classroom events.
  • Graphic organizers at the beginning of each chapter show major ideas and how they relate to each other.
  • A case study in every chapter written by contemporary educators especially for this edition.
  • Tips written by teachers who have received the Teacher of the Year Award in their state.
  • Success stories by university/public school teachers share unique approaches for working effectively to meet multicultural needs in the classroom.
