Classroom Diversity: Connecting Curriculum to Students' Lives

Book Overview

Visit the Center for Research on Education, Diversity Excellence!

Why do we honor some students' background knowledge and ignore that of others? How can we build on the "gifts of diversity" in our classrooms? Classroom Diversity offers examples of teachers wrestling with these issues. It presents a new way to look at curriculum design and the learning that can result when we put students' funds of knowledge first.
