Learning in cultural context

"Learning in Cultural Context explores vital links between informal education and academic progress through a variety of ethnic lenses. This timely volume focuses on three interrelated areas: cultural and learning practices at home, culture-based teaching strategies in preschool education, and more nuanced methods used with middle and high school students." "The book's 18 contributors offer practical ideas to benefit teachers working with new populations and provide new insights where pupil's cultural practices have traditionally been encouraged. Learning in Cultural Context is important reading for psychologists and educators in our increasingly inclusive society."--Jacket.
