Handbook of Research on Literacy and Diversity
Edited by: Lesley Mandel Morrow, Robert Rueda, Diane Lapp
Timely and authoritative, this is the first research handbook to address all dimensions of diversity that have an impact on literacy achievement. Leading experts, including from WestEd's Center for Child and Family Studies, examine how teaching and learning intersect with cultural and language differences and socioeconomic disparities in today's increasingly diverse schools and communities. The volume weaves state-of-the-art research findings together with theory, policy considerations, and discussions of exemplary instructional practices. It offers fresh perspectives on such topics as family literacy, multiliteracies, drawing on cultural resources in the classroom, factors that promote success in high-poverty schools, equity issues, and ways to teach specific literacy skills. The concluding section provides crucial recommendations for teacher preparation and professional development.
WestEd's Ann-Marie Wiese co-authored a key chapter, "Policy Related to Issues of Diversity and Literacy: Implications for English Learners."
