This handbook will enable instructors to build on the engaging, personal tone of Beth Harry’s well-received qualitative study, bringing to life the sensitive issues it raises regarding race, culture, bilingualism, and disability through a series of activities for students. The Teacher’s Handbook reflects the central content discussed in each chapter of the book and then offers a range of activities from which to choose: group and two-person role-plays; "reality checks" in which students investigate what actually happens in their schools and communities; academic research tasks; class debates; and group preparation of hypothetical briefs on special education policy. These flexible suggestions can be adapted to suit the composition of classes and the instructor’s own personal style. In all cases, however, they will enhance students’ understanding of the important issues involved in the stories of the 12 real families profiled in Cultural Diversity, Families, and the Special Education System. |
