Literacy, Technology, and Diversity by Dennis Sayers, Jim P. Cummins, Kristin Brown (2006, Package)

Thought-provoking, this long-awaited book offers a fresh and much-needed point of view of how to "rethink" literacy and technology in today's diverse classrooms.

Authored by some of the most respected researches in the field today, From Grade Expectations to Great Expectations reflects on the idea that great expectations are achievable through educational projects that foster academic growth, with classroom diversity and technology as catylysts for deeper learning and that a narrow focus on grade expectations yields superficial results. Arguing that today's learning principles need to incorporate the core values of community learning, critical pedagogy, multilingualism, anti-racist education, high academic standards, and technological fluency, this unparallel book serves as an introduction to these learning principles which best serve the life-long learning of students.
