Improving Urban Science Education: New Roles for Teachers, Students, and Researchers
Many would argue that the state of urban science education has been static for the past several decades and that there is little to learn from it. Rather than accepting this deficit perspective, Improving Urban Science Education strives to recognize and understand the successes that exist there by systematically documenting seven years of research into issues salient to teaching and learning in urban high school science classes.
Presents theoretical, empirical, and practical bases for implementing multilingual education programmes to prepare students for a multilingual world. The book addresses issues relevant to multilingual acquisition, the integration of content instruction in multilingual programmes, teacher education, and the role of culture in multilingual schools. It also presents case studies of multilingual schools in different parts of the world.
