Diversity of today’s learners. An entire chapter on Differentiated Instruction and a recurring feature Exploring Diversity in the sixth edition help teachers support the needs of all learners and communicate effectively with diverse students and families.

Technology to support learning. The Technology and Teaching feature in each chapter offers guidance to apply technology to support communication, collaboration, planning and more.
