Reaching All Learners: Understanding Diverse Classroom Populations equips future educators with the knowledge and strategies necessary to address the wide-ranging diversity in modern classrooms. The book acknowledges that learning about diversity is a process and provides foundational knowledge to better prepare teachers for diverse educational encounters.
The book examines various aspects of diversity such as socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, gifted students, learning disabilities within general and special education classrooms, English-language learners, individualized education programs (IEPs), and multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). It also explores the topics of the mental health of students and the increasing role of technology in education. Each chapter concludes with practical case scenarios and project-based learning ideas to foster deep engagement.
The second edition features two new chapters that address individualized education programs, and multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and response to intervention (RtI).
Reaching All Learners is ideal for courses and programs in education, especially those focused on classroom diversity, special education, and teacher preparation programs.
