Media Reviews

A teacher can pick up this book and actually use the ideas from it with little or no hassle. The applications and exercises at the end of each chapter are especially excellent and very useful.

-- Elise Geither

This book makes a significant contribution to the field for three reasons: first, it speaks to classroom teachers using straightforward language and relevant examples; second, it addresses a growing issue in today's classrooms; third, it is concise, thus appealing to busy professionals. The coverage is complete without either significant omissions or excesses.

-- Francesina R. Jackson, Assistant Dean, School of Education

With its practical recommendations, survey of important issues and user-friendly format, this guide meets a need not satisfied by any other such book. The material is well integrated, recurring themes and important points are interwoven throughout, and it is short, to the point, and easy to follow.

-- Tery J. Medina, National Origin Coordinator
