Teaching Science to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Elementary Studentsincludesrelevant examples and real teacher moments. A great resource for in-service teachers.- Karisa S. Dodds, Science Facilitator, Myers Park Traditional, Charlotte, NC  I have used Science Backpacks and found them a wonderful way to extend the school day and involve families in their child’s learning. Many ideas were new to me and I enjoyed the fact that they were very simple to implement, yet would be a valuable use of my time.- Kristi Trotter Hattenhauer, Science Coach/Lab Facilitator, Jonesboro Math and Science Magnet School, Jonesboro, AR  This book does a great job of giving research and theory while outlining practical ways of bridging the gap between information and how this process might look in a classroom. This book combines all the elements of what is needed to successful teach in a culturally relevant way a subject that many minorities feel offer no connection to their present day lives or future goal attainment.  Additionally, it can serve as a springboard for discussions on how teachers can improve the job that they are doing at better teaching and reaching all students. - Cheryl Harris Curtis, Educational Consultant II, NC Department of Public Instruction,Raleigh, NC
