Teaching Science to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Elementary Students includes relevant examples and real teacher moments. A great resource for in-service teachers.

I have used Science Backpacks and found them a wonderful way to extend the school day and involve families in their child’s learning.
Many ideas were new to me and I enjoyed the fact that they were very simple to implement, yet would be a valuable use of my time.
- Kristi Trotter Hattenhauer, Science Coach/Lab Facilitator, Jonesboro Math and Science Magnet School, Jonesboro, AR
This book does a great job of giving research and theory while outlining practical ways of bridging the gap between information and how this process might look in a classroom.
This book combines all the elements of what is needed to successful teach in a culturally relevant way a subject that many minorities feel offer no connection to their present day lives or future goal attainment. Additionally, it can serve as a springboard for discussions on how teachers can improve the job that they are doing at better teaching and reaching all students.

Good Easy-to-Read Handbook for Elementary Teachers
By Determined Shopper
This book was a good book to use for someone who knows little about culturally and linguistically diverse students and for someone who has little time to educate themselves on the topics of interest. Many education majors are swamped with other responsibilities so they do not have time to read other literature. Because culturally and linguistically diverse students are failing, I believe this book would be a good and QUICK read to assist you in ensuring you meet the needs of ALL students. This book could use a little more background information on both populations.
