"Teachers are challenged each year to add strategies
to their toolkit in order to meet diverse
learners′ needs. This edition gives teachers the
opportunity to add excellent new tools that help students
reach higher levels of engagement and performance."
*Lin Kuzmich, Educational Consultant*
"A very in-depth analysis of teaching approaches that
emphasize the need to reach more students through varied learning
styles. The book points out the oft-forgotten concept
that ′one size does not fit all′ when it comes to teaching."
*NACADA Journal, Spring 2007*
"An easy read that provides your team with ideas on how to plan
strategically in order to reach the needs of diverse learners
today."
*Principal Navigator, September 2006*
"Most of my students are currently working as para-educators while
earning their degrees and California teaching credentials, and we
are all very pleased with the useful examples and suggestions for
adapting lessons to meet the needs of diverse populations of
learners. My students also appreciate the reasonable price, and
most plan to keep the book as a professional reference tool. Kudos
to Gregory and Chapman for this book."
