She examines current approaches and practices in refugee and immigrant education as well as in successful integrated, or mainstream, ESL programs; Comprehensive, practical, and supportive of teachers, Teaching to Diversity offers a sound, well-developed theoretical  base and a thorough overview of methodology in an easy-to-read fashion; includes practical, innovative classroom-tested strategies and ideas for implementing active learning, integrated language teaching, writing process, student publishing, and cooperative learning; provides detailed suggestions for "What to do when ESL students arrive brand new"; addresses many issues that challenge teachers on a daily basis; suggests appropriate language and literacy programs for second-language learners while at the same time offering a quality program for all students; provides blackline masters for teacher and student use, including excellent classroom teacher's strategy lists for enhancing second-language acquisition; Teaching to Diversity's wide range of applicability makes it an invaluable resource for classroom and ESL teachers as well as those planning and delivering in-service to teachers."
