This review is from: Building Communities of Learners: A Collaboration among Teachers, Students, Families, and Community (Loose Leaf)
This book provides the reader with classroom ideas to incorporate the family, communities, students, and teacher in the school curriculum. The teachers in the book suggest many different tactics to approach very diverse students and their families. McCaleb wants the students to realize that they are important in society, by showing them how others have succeeded. Students bring many experiences into the classroom, and teachers should build from those experiences to make their education more meaningful for the student
