Getting It Right for Young Children from Diverse Backgrounds: Applying Research to Improve Practice

Tools and resources to ensure quality education for young children from diverse backgrounds.
Getting it RIGHT for Young Children from Diverse Backgrounds focuses on providing successful education for all children, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds, non-English speaking families, and those faced with the challenges of poverty. In it, current and future teachers, practitioners, trainers, and professional educators get an authoritative perspective on best practices that combines professional experience with available scientific evidence. The information is grounded in real-life experiences, and is guided by current rigorous research findings.

The 2nd Edition looks at the advances in the scientific understanding of dual language development since the 1st Edition was published, and the new research on program models and classroom practices that improve the educational outcomes for children from diverse backgrounds. Substantially reorganized and streamlined to focus on the most relevant issues, the book includes updated research throughout and includes a new chapter dedicated to instructional strategies and classroom practices with video links, illustrations, sample lessons, and practical examples. Teachers, curriculum supervisors, and professional development specialists get concrete guidance about how to apply the latest research findings to improved classroom practices.
