Good Instruction“Good instruction is good instruction, regardless of students’ racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic backgrounds. To a large extent, good teaching – teaching that is
engaging, relevant, multicultural, and that appeals to a variety of modalities and
learning styles – works well with ALL children.”
Educating Everybody’s Children, ASCD, 1995
