Create a schoolwide foundation to ensure academic success for ALL students
This book demonstrates a system-wide approach to support the learning needs of culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse students. The authors deliver a six-point model for developing improved programs, policies, and practices, including:
- Mapping and aligning an integrated curriculum―making the mainstream curricula accessible for all learners
- Collaborative planning and assessment―pooling teachers’ intelligence so the whole is greater than the sum of the parts
- Teaching students explicit learning strategies―empowering students by taking the focus off the teacher and putting it back on learners
