Description: All teachers nowadays can expect to have a diversity of students in their classes. The term 'diversity' can be applied to students' cultural backgrounds, their social and family backgrounds, their ethnic origins and their ability level. For classrooms to be optimal learning environments, teachers need to understand the diversity of their students, and provide programs and learning conditions that cater to that diversity. Whereas at one time classes tended to be quite homogeneous, teachers in the twenty-first century are likely to have students from many different countries, from varying religious backgrounds and from a variety of family arrangements including nuclear families, single parent families, shared parenting families and same-sex parent families. They are also likely to, at some stage, teach students with a diagnosed disability, and it is the successful inclusion of these students into classrooms that is the primary focus of this book.
