Culture-Based Differentiated Instruction

A Guide to Teaching Health Education

Beschreibung

Designed to support health educators working within the diverse, modern classroom, Culture-Based Differentiated Instruction: A Guide to Teaching Health Education provides readers with a strategic framework that helps them learn about and better understand their students on a cultural level. This teaching methodology equips the educator with the skills to effectively plan, instruct, and assess while designing multiple pathways to success. With this culture-focused pedagogy, educators will be better prepared to make a difference through improving students' health literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, responsible citizenship, and self-directed learning. Each chapter guides readers through a specific component of the Culture-Based Differentiated Instruction Model (CBDIM), while also addressing pedagogy, curriculum, and methodology related to health education. Special focus is given to training educators to manage a spectrum of learners, especially those who are most vulnerable. Individual topics addressed include health disparities, barriers and challenges to understanding cultures, how environmental factors can affect student achievement and health, community outreach, multiple pathways to success, motivating students, managing behavior in the classroom, and more. Culture-Based Differentiated Instruction offers future and current educators with a roadmap and model for effective and impactful teaching in today's multicultural health education classroom and surrounding community.
