Review

Teaching Science to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Elementary Students includes relevant examples and real teacher moments. A great resource for in-service teachers.

- Karisa S. Dodds, Science Facilitator, Myers Park Traditional, Charlotte, NC

I have used Science Backpacks and found them a wonderful way to extend the school day and involve families in their child’s learning.

Many ideas were new to me and I enjoyed the fact that they were very simple to implement, yet would be a valuable use of my time.

- Kristi Trotter Hattenhauer, Science Coach/Lab Facilitator, Jonesboro Math and Science Magnet School, Jonesboro, AR

This book does a great job of giving research and theory while outlining practical ways of bridging the gap between information and how this process might look in a classroom.

This book combines all the elements of what is needed to successful teach in a culturally relevant way a subject that many minorities feel offer no connection to their present day lives or future goal attainment. Additionally, it can serve as a springboard for discussions on how teachers can improve the job that they are doing at better teaching and reaching all students.

Teaching Science to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Elementary Students

Teaching Science to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Elementary Students helps K-8 teachers implement culturally relevant instructional strategies to ensure that all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic class, can do science, like science, and become scientists if they choose.

In America’s increasingly diverse classrooms, science is not always presented in a way that is meaningful to all students. With this in mind, this book outlines eight culturally relevant strategies for teaching science to help ensure all students have access to inquiry-based, interactive, and experiential science learning. Written to encourage inclusive practices, the book shows how to teach science using students’ experiences, how to integrate science and literacy and how to use alternative methods to assess students’ understanding of science.
