By Bonnie M. DavisHow to Teach Students Who Don't Look Like You helps educators recognize the impact that culture has on the learning process. The term "diverse learners" encompasses a variety of student groups, including homeless children, migrant children, English language learners, children experiencing gender identity issues, children with learning disabilities, and children with special needs. This revised second edition reflects the latest trends in education, and includes new coverage of standards-based, culturally responsive lesson planning and instruction, differentiated instruction, RTI, and the Common Core State Standards. The author helps all educators to tailor instruction to their own unique student population; reflect on their own cultures and how this shapes their views of the world; create culturally responsive instruction and understand culture and how it affects learning. Strategies are presented to assist educators in addressing the needs of diverse learners and closing the achievement gap.
