Green, Jessica, Ed.
This publication includes 17 of the best articles from recent additions of The Science Teacher, the National Science Teachers Association's (NSTA) journal for secondary educators. The articles are written by science educators who offer ideas and strategies for bringing multicultural education into the classroom and providing opportunities for all students to learn science. Organized in three sections, suggestions are given for helping students learn the language of science while learning English as a second language, embracing the cultural and scientific contributions of a variety of heritages, and using strategies and tips for teaching in a diverse classroom. All articles are correlated to the National Science Education Standards. Articles include: (1) "Cultural Inclusion" (H.
