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.

And Justice for ELs is a resource every school leader must read right away—for that matter, keep within arm’s reach because you’re certain to refer to it constantly. Ayanna Cooper, a former U.S. Department of State English Language Specialist, has “been there, done that” and is now prepared to share with you how best to translate today’s federal mandates into actionable steps for ensuring the civil rights of our nation’s multilingual learners.
Because it is impossible to provide specific advice or guidance for every possible situation, Ayanna focuses on the “need-to knows” for making informed decisions within your own building:
Eight questions you must ask—and how to obtain answers—before planning English language development services
The most common EL program models, with special emphasis on scheduling, along with specific challenges and appropriate staffing
The why and how of evaluating English language education, regardless of the evaluation tool, and ways to facilitate conversations with teachers before and after observation
How to determine the type of professional learning that will have the greatest impact in your unique context
Recommendations for establishing productive relationships with linguistically diverse families and communities
Just about every tool you could possibly need, including a glossary of acronyms, useful advocacy organizations, and templates for supporting professional learning
But what you’ll love most is the way Ayanna “keeps it real.” Every chapter is framed around a “What Would You Do?” scenario, for which she ultimately provides an answer(s) as well as guiding questions to help you think through the issues. Take a look for yourself. We know you’ll agree that And Justice for ELs is without question a one-of-a-kind resource.
“And Justice for ELs is an excellent guide for practitioners who seek to provide their English learners with high-quality instruction in all subject areas. Too often such students are relegated an education that marginalizes them academically and fails to develop their native language skills. We can and must do a better job for these students, and in this book Ayanna Cooper shows us how.”

Combining an interactive workspace with teacher preparation and professional development, this book provides an action planner and toolkit for embedding culturally responsive teaching into online and in person instruction. Other features include:
Demonstrative, inspirational, and culturally responsive practical approaches for online and in person educational settings

Описание: The field of dual language encompasses a variety of labels including developmental bilingual education, two-way bilingual education, one- and two-way immersion, dual immersion, and enrichment and heritage education. It is used in the literature to refer to additive educational programs that see multilingualism as an asset rather than a challenge or deficit. These various models share the essential components of integrating language-minority and language-majority students and using the two languages throughout the school day in various proportions. This type of education strives to promote additive bilingualism and biliteracy and cross-cultural competence. In the field of dual language education there is a dire need for readily reproducible and step-by-step research-based practices that bridge the gap between critical scholarship and equitable teaching practices. This book would serve as a critical addition to current literature in dual language education.
This book introduces and guides dual language educators through the current best practices and methods for equity-minded teaching. The chapters include introductions to the context and the multilingual pedagogies of dual language education and will introduce an element of instruction, an example from a dual language classroom, a step-by-step guide to implementation that includes a checklist of instructional practices, a protocol to aid in implementation of the strategies, and a summary of the possibilities and the challenges. The book ends with instructional implications and future directions for educators to serve all multilingual students effectively and equitably.
The intended audience for this book is teachers and teacher educators in pre- and in-service settings, instructional coaches, and practitioners who are seeking to provide critical language education in bilingual and dual language immersion primary and secondary schools around the globe. The book can prepare students in college programs to get additional certifications (bilingual authorization) and credentials (combine world language and content area single subject credential) to teach academic content in two languages. It can be a supplementary text for many school courses and programs.
