Concrete strategies to support students with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

Students learn best when they can relax and be themselves at school. In Strategies for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching and Learning, Second Edition, educators will learn to examine all aspects of teaching practice with an eye toward meeting the needs of today’s diverse student populations. This professional resource provides clear explanation and hands-on tools for implementing a CLR approach across the school day: in student-teacher relationships, the classroom environment, curricular materials, instructional approaches, and more.

In the second edition, you’ll learn how to recognize 16 cultural behaviors that are often not validated and affirmed at school, and how to respond based on CLR practices. Additionally, you’ll learn how to incorporate responsive literacy, vocabulary, and classroom management strategies throughout your teaching. This update includes two new sections in each chapter: one that helps you support students in “being themselves” at school, and another that includes discussion questions for PLCs or book study groups.
