Synopsis

Educators often feel frustrated by their school's lack of comprehensive programs to address the needs of diverse learners. Many noted literacy experts believe that school programs for diverse learners will remain ineffectual until instruction involves teachers, specialists, administrators, and families in collaborative decision making, mediation, negotiation, and respect for differences.

Collaboration for Diverse Learners brings together several expert perspectives on achieving effective collaboration to accelerate the literacy development of diverse learners. You will find in this important volume many resources to guide your own decision making and development of successful collaboration programs: in-depth analyses of collaborative efforts, multiple ways to think about collaboration and its implementation, and examples of collaborative projects that are successfully in place in schools throughout the United States. You'll be especially inspired by the first-hand stories of educators, children, and families who present the possibilities for partnerships that advance the learning of all students.
