Obiakor, Valdosta State Univversity Multicultural Education for
Learners with Special Needs in the Twenty-First Century provides
general and special educators innovative information that address
the road blocks to effective practice such that diverse learners
will be appropriately; identified, assessed, categorized, placed
and instructed. The book provides those who instruct diverse
learners comprehensive, creative and best practice chapters by
scholars in the area of multicultural education. Chapter One
presents a system to reduce traditional education road blocks that
confront diverse learners called Culturally and Linguistically
Responsive Teaching (CLRT). The CLTR system is designed to
accomplish three objectives, namely, to increase student
achievement, to help students develop skills to achieve economic
sufficiency and to allow students to acquire citizenship skills
based on a realistic and thorough understanding of the political
system. Chapter Two discusses the pervasive problem of
disproportionate representation of students from diverse
backgrounds in special education by examining what it is, who is
impacted by it, why it is occurring, and how it can be addressed
using promising strategies. Chapter Three examines the use of
authentic assessment to provide feedback for teachers and students,
and guide the instructional process by differentiating teaching to
meet the educational needs of diverse learners. Chapters Four,
Five, Six and Seven address issues related to educating Latina/o
Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans and Native Americans
learners with special needs. Chapter Eight is a unique chapter that
addresses the growing need to educate foreign-born immigrants who
are now being referred to as "Today's Special Learners in Schools."
This chapter delineates the use of the Comprehensive Support Model
(CSM) to educate foreign-born learners who are identified by the
authors as foreign-born English Language Learners. The CSM is
recommended as a culturally sensitive intervention that integrates
efforts of the self, (i.e., learner), families, school, community,
and government in responding to the needs of diverse learners.
Chapter Nine provides a comprehensive discussion of how Culturally
Relevant Leadership (CRL) can impact educational theory and
practice. The authors delineate how CRL leads to reflective
practices which position teachers and administrators to become
leaders in school change that can increase student success for
diverse learners. Chapter Ten provides the reader with illustrative
content regarding the use of technology to educate multicultural
learners with special needs. Chapter Eleven delineates the
culturally responsive infusion of effective behavior modification
strategies that are designed to strengthen and facilitate positive
behaviors for culturally and linguistically diverse learners with
special needs. The book is an important addition to the education
of multicultural learners with special needs as it provides much
needed direction for the effective instructional practices for
today's diverse students. The book can be used as current best
practices for special and general educators as well as school
administrators
