Overview

PLANNING EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTION: DIVERSITY RESPONSIVE METHODS AND MANAGEMENT, 6th Edition, translates best practice research into practical suggestions for diversity responsive teaching in the classroom. The book is organized around a framework that clarifies the enormous task of being a diversity responsive teacher by helping focus teachers' efforts in planning for diversity. Readers see that what they teach, how they teach, and the context for teaching interact to bring about the success of all students. Written lesson and activity plans that incorporate diversity responsive techniques guide and save time for future instructors. The book -- which integrates InTASC Standards and includes learning objectives -- provides resources and exercises that both lay the foundation for readers' future work and prove useful as tools that they can reference throughout their teaching careers.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • The Framework for Diversity Responsive Teaching helps provide structure for the themes throughout the book. Part 1 emphasizes how to think carefully about content and outcomes before planning how to teach. Part 2 focuses on universal interventions (i.e., strategies that benefit all students). To ensure that students are prepared for potential obstacles that might derail an otherwise well-planned lesson or activity, Part 3 includes coverage of classroom and behavior management. Part 4 includes specific guidance on how to write effective lesson and activity plans.
  • Teachers in Action boxes provide examples of teachers who are planning lessons or activities for their classes. The scenarios, introduced at the beginning of the chapter and revisited at the end, provide a reason for reading and an opportunity to apply the information presented in the chapter.
  • Teacher Checklists, Mini-Lessons, and Mini-Activities highlight key information and provide ready-to-use tools for teachers.
  • Examples of key concepts appear throughout each chapter.
  • Strategies and examples support information on how to integrate proactive classroom management into lesson or activity plans. Strategies for managing behavior in the "challenging class" are also included.
  • The authors focus on planning lessons and activities that are designed to meet the needs of the diverse student populations in today's classrooms, including classrooms with English Language Learners. They present ways to determine whether to write a lesson or activity plan and what to include in each, helping readers save time when planning. They also explain how to build universal design features and critical teaching skills into the initial stages of planning a lesson or activity, thereby decreasing the need to add accommodations for individuals.
  • Information about connecting lesson objectives to the state standards in both general education and special education helps readers identify content that is important to teach.
  • Examples of activity and lesson plans -- which serve as models to guide student teachers as they begin to write their own plans -- are designed for various grade levels, content areas, and group sizes.
  • Chapters on critical teaching skills and critical management skills include many suggestions for responding to diversity.
  • An appendix includes many examples of written lesson and activity plans that incorporate the concepts presented throughout the book. These plans also save future teachers from having to construct their own plans.
  • Each chapter includes learning objectives and content is correlated to InTASC standards.
