by Thomas Lasley, Thomas Matczynski, James Rowley

Overview

The Lasley/Matczynski/Rowley text is the first introduction to models of teaching that emphasizes the needs of a culturally diverse learner population. At the heart of the text are four categories of instructional models (reasoning, reorganizing, remembering, and relating) which deal with the range of intellectual skills students must exhibit in order to experience success in schools composed of diverse student populations. Two instructional models are discussed within each of the four categories.
