Description: "From cultural diversity to behavioral issues and special needs students, today's educators are under more pressure than ever to ensure that their students are getting the best possible classroom experience. To that end, these essays show us not only where teachers have gone before but also offer practical advice for embracing diversity in the classroom. And as this fascinating collection of stories shows, sometimes it's not just the students but the teachers who learn the most from these everyday trials and challenges."-- Back cover.
