Overview
How can you teach all students to achieve at the same high standards and still respect and accommodate their differences? This book answers that question and introduces you to a field-tested framework for teaching that ensures that inclusion and differentiated instruction are in harmony with standards-based education. Explore the six critical elements of instruction that respond to student diversity in the standards-based classroom, and get step-by-step guidance in selecting instructional methods and materials that provide multiple pathways to content, creating classrooms and curriculum that welcome all students and move them along a continuum of learning, using assessments that challenge and accommodate diverse learners and collaborating effectively with other teachers and specialists. If you're striving to teach a standards-based curriculum in a classroom with English language learners, students from culturally diverse backgrounds, or students with disabilities, this book has the comprehensive approach you need.
