Promoting Educational Success through Culturally Situated Instruction uniquely highlights the power of educational equity, constructivism, and situated literacy. While many books discuss diversity or constructivism, and some address situated literacy, this book synthesizes all three components to produce synergy. Situatedness is the core of diversity, and the strategies and insights in each chapter equip students to reach their full potential. This text synthesizes educational equality, constructivism, and situated literacy in unique and practical ways that strategically prepare students for the next level of learning. These chapters provide insights for educational opportunities that personalize learning, take learning to the next level, and provide transformative strategies to empower students. Each chapter explores an area of education in which situatedness and a connection to the learner at a deep, personal level are components of the teaching/learning scenario.
