Description & Coverage
Description:

With an ever growing diverse population and access to new technologies, it is no revelation that education is undergoing a significant transformation in the twenty-first century.

Highlighting practices from around the globe; this book is an essential tool for P-12 educators, pre-service and in-service teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and researchers across social science disciplines that have an interest in field-based educational research.
