Meeting the Needs of Students with Diverse Backgrounds eBook

This intelligent collection of case studies tells the stories of individuals coping with diversity in our schools today. The book focuses on real situations that challenge practitioners daily, such as culture and religion and English as an additional language. Each contributed chapter leads to points for discussion – either with the class, with colleagues or for reflecting on your own practice ­- plus practical suggestions for improving classroom life for all. This topical book is suitable for all practitioners working with children and families such as teachers, teaching assistants and educational psychologists, as well as students and policy makers in the fields of health, social care and education.
