Diverse Learners in Mainstream Classrooms presents research-based and classroom-based approaches for working effectively with diverse students across the content areas. Written in a reader-friendly, accessible style, it provides everything from the big picture to the everyday details teachers want: Several books in one, Diverse Learners in Mainstream Classrooms finally unites information on teaching a wide variety of special student populations into one helpful, practical guide. Now any teacher can find the solutions they need for working with diverse students.

Would love if this book was updated.

Awesome book to take a look at when you are differentiating for ELLs, students with disabilities, and gifted/talented students. Each chapter is written almost like an article from a scientific journal; it begins with an introduction, moves into theory, and finishes with a conclusion. It also gives practical ways to apply the information in the classroom and includes a list of resources for further study.

It covers the basics of cultural diversity, bilingual education, practical strategies to help students with disabilities, and ways to incorporate technology in the classroom to help all students learn.

YUCK!
This is very dry and boring to read. Also the technology section is becoming rapidly outdated, always tricky for an author to take a gamble on including that section. They are probably wiser to simply publish on the web.

Great info for all types of diversity
