This book outlines relevant theoretical background and provides detailed advice and suggestions for educators in schools serving culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Some of the chapters focus on the needs of students from immigrant communities, especially those who are learning the language of instruction, while others include historical 'minority groups' as well. Booknews As a program consultant to the Toronto District School Board, a large urban school district confronting the education of immigrant students in the most multicultural city in the world (per the author), Coelho (teacher education, U. of Toronto) provides examples of practices that schools and teachers can adopt to meet the special needs of all learners in culturally diverse classrooms. She overviews the melting pot and other metaphors and the immigrant experience before proceeding to discuss the steps involved in implementing and assessing an inclusive multicultural curriculum, classroom community, and school.
