The standards-based initiatives that dominate educational policy and practice today typically focus only on the surface skills of reading, thus isolating teaching and learning from the social and cultural contexts that are a part of every classroom. Fortunately, in this excellent volume edited by Catherine Compton-Lilly, you will enter classrooms in which literacy is treated as more than just as set of skills, and discover solutions and possibilities for providing culturally responsive teaching.

You'll learn how to create classrooms that reflect and honor the social and cultural worlds of children, how to make instruction relevant to your students, and how to create home - school partnerships with diverse families. Especially helpful are a rich variety of practical resources that you can use in your classroom:

• Examples and vignettes from actual classrooms that illustrate how you can apply the insights from each chapter to your daily instruction
• A "Recommendations for Educators and Classroom Applications" section that translates theory to practice for busy teachers
• A list of suggested resources
• Sidebars with tips and recommendations to use immediately with your students.

Popular image confronts high stakes reality where student assessment is concerned. All the media stories about today's plugged-in kids simultaneously surfing the Web, IM-ing their friends, blogging, and gaming can make us forget that many PK-12 students don t have that kind of access. Even when they do, they're not necessarily picking up the technology skills they need for educational, career, and civic success in the 21st century. Resources for Student Assessment helps resolve this conundrum with NETS based strategies and tools that accurately measure students ability to use technology effectively for learning. You'll find detailed guidelines for creating and choosing reliable tests of technology literacy for various grades as well as case studies and best practices at the site, district, and state levels.

FEATURES
Detailed NETS -S assessment rubrics designating technology competency targets for Grades 2, 5, 8, and 12
Models for creating classroom assessments of student technology use as well as case studies of large-scale assessment initiatives
Comprehensive survey of technology assessment concepts and options
