Culturally Proficient Instruction

An invitation to reflect on culture, value diversity-and manage the dynamics of difference!

In this updated edition of their best-selling book, the authors provide opportunities for educators to reflect on who they are as teachers, who their learners are, and the unique perspectives they each bring to the classroom. Each chapter contains reflective activities and group work to guide readers through the process, and a well-documented case study that demonstrates cultural proficiency in practice.

This extensively revised second edition introduces:

• A chapter on instructional standards


• A restructured and simplified case study

Incorporating examples from a multitude of environments, this interactive resource addresses the needs of K-12 teachers and administrators, higher education faculty, adult educators, and trainers in business and healthcare. This book is for everyone who teaches, in every type of setting.
