The author begins by introducing teachers to the definition of ethnographic research followed by a rationale for doing so. In Chapter 1 the basics are presented including keeping a research notebook, data collection and data analysis techniques making it extremely easy for the beginning researcher (students)! Thirty-one lessons follow that are specifically designed to provide students with the tools and techniques used by the practicing professional necessary to conduct ethnographic research. This excellent resource guides you step-by-step through the process with great graphic organizers and rubrics that help all practitioner and students focus on the many facets of ethnographic studies. Today's classrooms are compilations of diverse student ethnic groups and adding this type of study provides a doorway for understanding the differentiated needs of all learners in a meaningful way. The students can see themselves as a common denominator in the learning process-authentic learning!
