Classroom Diversity Management Patricia Ifeoma Ugwu

In her 2005 doctoral dissertation, Dr. Ugwu reported the prediction that community colleges would continue to experience growth in enrollment and diversity. It is now 2017 and this prediction is largely true. While growth in enrollment may not have been consistent, growth in student diversity has exploded. This book delivers a scholarly research study by student success and diversity advocate, Dr. Patricia Ifeoma Ugwu, on effective instructional approaches that exceptional faculty use to engage diverse students in the classroom. Using critical incident technique, in-depth interviews, and focus groups the author identifies effective and ineffective instructional strategies for teaching diverse students. The findings of Dr. Ugwu's study provide instructional leaders and administrators with relevant information to guide decisions in dealing with an increasingly more diverse student body.
