Document Summary
Characteristics of culturally- and linguistically-diverse students: differences in, language, home and school cultures, behavior, these differences may be interpreted by some as a disability or a problem. Who are linguistically-diverse students: many, but not all, are culturally diverse, many are english language learners (ell, their native language is not english, detecting the difference between language impairment and difference is often difficult. Prevention: the most effective way to reduce the number of disabilities in children is to reduce the risk factors, improve access to health care, establish universal vaccinations, ensure safe living environments. Assessment: purpose, evaluate general academic performance, learn whether a student is learning the skills being taught, determine whether a student has a disability that affects school performance. Teaching diverse students with disabilities: teachers can, become culturally-sensitive and knowledgeable about second language acquisition, provide culturally responsive instruction, provide content that reflects the central aspects of a culture, use highly-motivating instructional materials.
