Chapter 54 ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The activities are grade specific and aligned with educational standards. This manual would be a great resource for any teacher to have in the classroom. It is well-planned with skill topics.
— Rachel Johnson, first grade teacher, Danville Virginia Public Schools
Presently, serving as teacher and educational consultant in higher education, this manual is an excellent document for improving the quality of instruction with emphasis on teaching diversity in our multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society.
— Virgie M. Binford, Ed.D. and Ph.D., adjunct professor, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College
I have reviewed, with much interest Dr. McLeod's book , Diversity Awareness for K-6 Teachers It is an excellent guide in promoting and developing student interest in learning. The guide gives teachers additional options to assist in promoting excellence in classroom environments, especially those with a broad range of student diversity.
— Representative Douglas Yongue, North Carolina House of Representatives, 46th District and retired public school teacher, principal, and superintendent
An interesting set of lessons—McLeod provides quite a variety of activities and themes in the 46 lessons. The lessons lend themselves to individual, pair, or groups work with students. The lessons are covered with a plan, activities, and assessment.
— O. Eugene Smith, retired professor of elementary education, University of Maryland and St. Andrews Presbyterian College
Rona Leach McLeod's book is well-organized and can be followed by any reader. She provides great examples of ideas after each lesson.This text should be present at the post-secondary level, and I strongly recommend it to be included in the Teacher Education Program
— Howard Johnson, high school principal, New Jersey
