Description
How can schools become more welcoming places for students from backgrounds of diversity? How can teachers respond to student diversity and still provide high quality education for all? Reforms to education for diversity are now getting world-wide attention because of the great population shifts over the last two or three generations. These migrations highlight issues that once went unnoticed, even in countries that always had large minority groups. A climate favoring the more tolerant treatment of students from diverse backgrounds is affecting schools everywhere. And important changes are taking place in the education of: girls from immigrant cultures; indigenous cultural groups; the urban poor; and language minorities. Using an international and cross-cultural scope, this book presents policies and practices that already work in real schools, and which the world of education can learn from.
