Subsequent sections focus on curriculum and instruction, taking into account issues of ethnicity, gender, grouping and tracking, cooperative learning, bilingualism, and testing methods. The final chapters discuss research methods and other foundational issues. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
