Abstract
There have been visible demographic changes in our classrooms, schools, communities, and nation. These changes have called for new ways of thinking and doing. It is no more new to see culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) learners in our schools. The question then becomes, How do we improve their learning and behavioral outcomes? This article introduces the Special Issue of Multicultural Learning and Teaching (MLT) that presents ways to improve learning and behavioral outcomes of CLD learners.
