Description:

A must-read for K-12 teachers, administrators, trainers, and anyone in a teacher training program, Teaching ESL K-12: Views from the Classroom addresses how to prepare English language learners to successfully enter the structures and demands of mainstream classrooms, curricula, and schools. The authors artfully blend insightful classroom and school-based experience with frameworks of research and policy. Through this interplay of voice and expertise, Teaching ESL K-12 shows the kind of meaningful professional conversation that teachers can have as they relate their 'wisdom of practice' to the social discourse of research and policy-making.
