Dana L. Powell and Robert G. Powell draw on research in both the communication and education disciplines, and provide useful strategies for improving teaching practices alongside theoretical models regarding diversity in the classroom. Much of the information found in this text is also inspired by the authors’ direct experience in schools and from the experience they have gleaned from other first-line instructors as well as from parents and children.
Among the many updates to this Third Edition are:
Expanded coverage of students with diverse needs
Discussion on working effectively with parents
Coverage of cultural influences and the impact of race and ethnicity on disciplinary actions
Examination of the role of social media and its impact on instructional communication
The increase of educational technology use.
Teachers and scholars in the communication and education fields will find this text practical and valuable for their teaching efforts, and it is appropriate for instructional communication courses in both disciplines.
