This essential book offers clear guidelines for determining if the
Culturally Linguistically Diverse (CLD) students / English Language
Learners (ELL) in your general education classroom are experiencing
typical language differences, learning disabilities, or both. By
combining helpful case-studies with insightful research, the
authors provide a framework for differentiating instruction that
uses culturally appropriate interventions to build upon student
strengths while creating a foundation for further learning and
achievement. You will discover how to: Connect your own and your
students' cultural assets to classroom content; Review language
acquisition stages and design corresponding instruction;
Collaborate with peers and discuss the realities of reaching out
for support and problem solving; Choose effective and appropriate
instructional strategies based on documentation of data through
progress monitoring; Move from a traditional behavioristic
perspective to a more culturally responsive perspective; Identify
patterns in formal assessments and informal instruction in order to
distinguish between language differences and learning disabilities.
In addition, the book includes a number of activities and graphs
that can be implemented immediately in any classroom. Many of these
materials can be downloaded for free from the book's product page:
