Book Synopsis

Contains ten contributions discussing ways to intellectually address all learners, including both a history of the problem and traditional approaches and solutions for recognizing and challenging inequities. While disability is addressed, it is not the focus of the book, which also examines the perceptions teachers hold about students with disabilities, of various races and ethnicities, users of ESL, "at risk" and urban students, and others.
