Reviews / Votes
"Teachers are challenged each year to add strategies to their toolkit in order to meet diverse learners' needs. This edition gives teachers the opportunity to add excellent new tools that help students reach higher levels of engagement and performance." -- Lin Kuzmich, Educational Consultant "A very in-depth analysis of teaching approaches that emphasize the need to reach more students through varied learning styles. The book points out the oft-forgotten concept that 'one size does not fit all' when it comes to teaching." -- NACADA Journal, Spring 2007 "An easy read that provides your team with ideas on how to plan strategically in order to reach the needs of diverse learners today." -- Principal Navigator, September 2006 "Most of my students are currently working as para-educators while earning their degrees and California teaching credentials, and we are all very pleased with the useful examples and suggestions for adapting lessons to meet the needs of diverse populations of learners. My students also appreciate the reasonable price, and most plan to keep the book as a professional reference tool. Kudos to Gregory and Chapman for this book." -- Cicely A.
