<P>What events take place at the intersection of cultural identity, education, and experience? How can they be measured, replicated? How can teachers use such personal phenomena to enhance student performance?</P>
<P></P>
<P>Extensively researched,<EM> Learning in Cultural Context</EM> explores vital links between informal education and academic progress through a variety of ethnic lenses. This timely volume focuses on three interrelated areas: cultural and learning practices at home, culture-based teaching strategies in preschool education, and more nuanced methods used with middle and high school students, among them:</P>
<P></P>
<P></P>
<P> •A home/school model for bolstering reading and math readiness in at-risk children<BR> •In-depth studies linking ethnic awareness and academic skills in native Hawaiian <BR> preschoolers<BR> •Comparative views of teaching and learning from Mexico and Costa Rica<BR> •Demonstrations of effective teaching in a multicultural high school program<BR> •Language socialization and moral training in an ethnically diverse dancing class.</P>
<P></P>
<P></P>
<P>The range of students represented across cultures and age groups affirms the relevance of such methods across the curriculum. And by following learning processes, measurable results, and student self-esteem at the preschool, primary, and adolescent levels, readers gain both developmental and cultural perspectives regarding identity and learning.</P>
<P></P>
<P></P>
<P>The book's 18 contributors offer practical ideas to benefit teachers working with new populations and provide new insights where pupils' cultural practices have traditionally been encouraged.<EM> Learning in Cultural Context</EM> is significant reading for psychologists and educators in our increasingly inclusive society.</P>
