The theoretical and pedagogical challenges of engaging both types of learners simultaneously without polarizing the classroom community dictates the need forwell-defined, differentiatedlearningstrategies; in response this book offers best practices and reproducible pedagogical initiatives and methodologies for different levels of instruction.
