Accelerating and Extending Literacy for Diverse Students addresses the need to equip teachers with the best research and practices to ensure they become dedicated to not just teaching, but knowing and reaching diverse learners. How teachers can create a culturally responsive environment that can identify and nurture the talents and gifts of culturally linguistically diverse students to move them from passive recipients to active constructors is a major theme addressed in the use of technology, visual literacy and storytelling as a bridge to teacher-student connection.
