Plain and simple: until our English learners have equitable access to the curriculum, they’ll continue to struggle with subject area content. And if you’re relying on add-on’s to fit in from your language arts basal or a supplementary program, Mary Soto, David Freeman, and Yvonne Freeman are here to equip you with much more effective, efficient, and engaging strategies for helping your English learners read and write at grade level.
One assurance right from the start: Mary, David, and Yvonne are not suggesting you reinvent your curriculum. Instead, Equitable Access for English Learners, Grades K-6, focuses on how to fortify foundational practices already in place. First, you’ll learn more about the Equitable Access Approach, then it’s time to dive into the book’s four units of study. Drawing on each unit’s many strategies, you’ll discover how to apply them to any unit in your own language arts curriculum and start differentiating:
How to draft and implement language objectives to help English learners meet academic content standards
How to make instructional input comprehensible, including translanguaging strategies that draw on your students’ first languages when you don’t know how to speak them
How to utilize the characteristics of text to support readers, along with a rubric for determining a text’s cultural relevance
How to build students’ academic content knowledge and develop academic language proficiency
Each unit addresses a commonly taught topic in today’s language arts programs and comes with ready-to-go review and preview activities, key strategies, grade-level adaptations, reflection exercises, and printable online resources. Taken as a whole, they constitute an all-new approach for providing that equitable and excellent access our English learners so rightfully deserve.
“When you adopt our Equitable Access Approach, your students will not only thrive, they’ll also find your language arts curriculum much more meaningful and engaging.”
—Mary Soto, David E. Freeman, and Yvonne S. Freeman

The anthology is divided into three distinct parts. The readings in Part I address special education and the law, and feature discussions regarding laws that impact students with disabilities, the emergence of special and inclusive education in the United States, and perspectives on IQ, ability, and eugenics. Part 2 focuses on differentiated instruction. Readers engage with articles about role-playing in an inclusive classroom, technology as a differentiated instruction tool, peer mediation, assessment to enhance student learning, and more. In the final part, readers further develop their understanding of universal design for learning (UDL).

Описание: Current research trends suggest that there is a strong need to provide students with equitable learning opportunities. However, much of what occurs in educational environments throughout the United States and elsewhere consists of inequitable practices designed to highlight weaknesses specifically among minority and disadvantaged students, which subsequently impacts their future. Although many educators are sensitive to the issues that these students face, they remain unequipped with the necessary skill set, tools, and resources needed to appropriately address and respond to such issues. Collaborative Strategies for Implementing Equitable Learning Opportunities is a critical scholarly publication that explores major hypocrisies in the field of education and is designed to draw attention to these shortcomings in an effort to create awareness and promote discussion that would lead to solutions through principles of collaboration, communication, and transparency. Highlighting topics such as cultural awareness, higher education, and professional development, this book is essential for educators, deans, principals, board members, school administrators, educational advocates, academicians, researchers, policymakers, and students.
