Dear IRIS Family,
We are pleased to announce the posting of a newly revised version of Teachers
at the Loom: Weaving Together Culture, Family, and Instruction for Culturally
and Linguistically Diverse Exceptional Students. The expanded and updated
Cultural and Linguistic Differences: What Teachers Should Know is now available
at the IRIS Web site.
In Cultural and Linguistic Differences: What Teachers Should Know, you'll meet
Jim Bennett, a fourth-grade teacher, and Maria, one of his students who
recently moved from Mexico. Join Mr. Bennett as he learns about culturally
responsive teaching, linguistic needs that can affect classroom instruction,
and supportive ways to encourage family members and the community to be become
more involved in school matters. To view the module, please go to
