About this title

From the Back Cover

This book is designed to help teachers succeed with students from non-European backgrounds, especially African Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans, immigrant and refugee students, students who have a limited proficiency with the English language, migrant and homeless students, rural and urban students, and students whose experiences in school are adversely affected by gender bias. This text examines the disparities that occur in the educational outcomes of students with these characteristics, as well as their causes, and suggests specific ways that teachers can eliminate inequities in student outcomes by providing them with educational services that meet their individual needs.
