Teaching for Diversity - Softcover

Rather than relying on platitudes, Garcia (education, U. of Nebraska) takes a pragmatic approach in examining the role of the teacher, the importance of the developmental view of socioeconomic and racial diversity, and guiding principles and strategies, all of which he believes will result in better teaching of diverse students and better teaching about dealing with diversity. He covers such topics as democracy and universal education, identifying and understanding issues, building instructional strategies, developing curricula, and teaching students to live in a diverse society.
