Every day college and university faculty ask themselves the question, 'How can we become more effective teachers of a culturally diverse student body?' This book provides the most comprehensive and useful answer that I have ever read. Drawing upon years of experience and research with students from various cultural backgrounds, Wlodkowski and Ginsberg offer faculty a remarkable integration of theory and practice--full of the kinds of insights and strategies they can use today.
--Michael Nettles, professor, Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education, University of Michigan
Raymond J. Wlodkowski and Margery B. Ginsberg combine their respective expertise in motivation and multiculturalism to go beyond the usual rhetoric on promoting diversity, offering real-world guidance and suggestions for successful teaching in today's changing classroom environment.

The student population in postsecondary education has become increasingly diverse, going far beyond simple distinctions of race, gAnder, and class to include a mix of ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, language, and disability. Yet, college teaching lacks a cohesive approach that consistently embraces diversity on a day-to-day basis to support the motivation of all learners.This book gives college faculty sensitive and practical help in working effectively with groups of culturally diverse learners. Raymond J. Wlodkowski and Margery B. Ginsberg combine their respective expertise in motivation and multiculturalism to go beyond the usual rhetoric on promoting diversity, offering real-world guidance and suggestions for successful teaching in today's changing classroom environment.Through extensive examples and illustrations, the authors describe the norms, procedures, and structures necessary to accomplish each motivational goal. And they present a set of eight guidelines showing how to revise a syllabus, create an action plan, form a cooperative collegial group, and identify a new role to carry out culturally responsive teaching.Diversity and Motivation shows how to meet the foremost challenge in education today: to create learning experiences that allow the integrity of every learner to be sustained while each person attains relevant educational success and mobility.
