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
