Coauthors Mark Aaron Polger and Scott Sheidlower argue that in order to grab-and hold onto--students' attention, instructors must get their interest right from the beginning. The techniques they suggest explain how to take into consideration the range of different learning styles students may have, how to accommodate students with different English language skills or abilities, and how to successfully work with individuals from different socioeconomic backgrounds or from different technologically adapted generations. The sections for each group address the key questions of identification (who are they?); how members of that group tend to react to libraries, librarians, and education; and how educational theories of that time affected students' learning in that generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Polger, Scott Sheidlower\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144083850X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440838507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Mark Polger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996242641151,"sku":"9781440838507","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ca464597-65bc-4a72-b27a-62870c0a0b5a.jpg?v=1683340569","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engaging-diverse-learners-mark-aaron-polger-9781440838507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
