Description: Managing Diverse Classrooms : How to Build on Students' Cultural Strengths, Paperback by Rothstein-Fisch, Carrie; Trumbull, Elise, ISBN 1416606246, ISBN-13 9781416606246, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US How does the home culture of Latino immigrant students differ from the mainstream culture of US schools? Why is it important for teachers to understand the difference? How can educators take advantage of students' cultural traits to improve classroom management, student performance, and school-parent relations? Rothstein-Fisch (educational psychology, California State University) and Trumbull, an educational consultant, answer these and other questions by drawing on the experiences of teachers who participated in the Bridging Cultures Project, a five-year action research study of elementary classrooms with high percentages of immigrant students. The authors present a simple framework for understanding cultural differences, and describe teacher-developed strategies that capitalize on the cultural values these students and their families offer, such as emphasis on sharing, helping, and the success of the group.
