Book SynopsisAsian American voices and experiences are largely absent from elementary curricula.Asian Americans are an extraordinarily diverse group of people, yet are often viewed through stereotypical lenses: as Chinese or Japanese only, as recent immigrants who do not speak English, as exotic foreigners, or as a model minority who do well in school. This fundamental misperception of who Asian Americans are begins with young learners?often from what they learn, or do not learn, in school.This book sets out to amend the superficial treatment of Asian American histories in U.S. textbooks and curriculum by providing elementary teachers with a more nuanced, thematically driven account. In chapters focusing on the complexity of Asian American identity, major moments in Asian immigration, war and displacement, issues of citizenship, and Asian American activism, the authors include suggestions across content areas for guided class discussions, ideas for broader uTrade Review"Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms is a critically important book that I wish my son's teachers had read. If you teach Asian American children or want to understand Asian American education at the elementary level, you need this incredible book."—Wayne Au, Professor, UW Bothell School of Educational Studies and Rethinking Schools editor“This book is a vital tool in helping teachers tell the story of Asian America. It is the story of America itself, and it deserves to be shared with every student, at every age, all year round.”—Christina Soontornvat, three-time Newbery Honor recipient "This book offers a place to enter when inquiring about Asian and Asian Americans with the full complexity of those categorical markers. With both examples and a humility on the part of the authors, readers are invited into an often invisiblized reality in the U.S. that have always been connected to Asian American organizing for rights over the past two centuries."—Leigh Patel, Professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Education, and Central Chair Committee, Education for LiberationTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

This term would alert teachers that experienced multilinguals need new challenges, social emotional attention, and a change from the ′traditional language and literacy′ approaches that have not worked for them and other multilinguals. -- Dr. Margarita CalderonLong Term Success for Experienced Multilinguals will make a great addition to schools’ professional development libraries. Considering the growth in student population that now fall under the category of LTEL, the book makes a great case for changing to an asset-based name and definition, while explaining clearly how to implement a new framework for instruction and assessment planning. The ideas presented in the framework are clear and structured in an easy way to follow and implement. -- Altagracia H.

These strategies can be combined in numerous ways for a variety of lesson plans that can easily be changed as the students’ skill levels increase so that all students can be successful. -- Toni RameyFrom the first few sentences, readers can see that the authors know our students and their needs. They understand characteristics of today’s students, their strengths, and what they truly struggle with. The vignettes could be my students, my schools and my teachers. The authors understand how schools are structured and provide realistic next steps for teachers to put recent impactful language development research into effective practice. -- Jessica MartinezThe book is full of so many valuable resources and plans for how to improve teaching and learning. I wish all teachers I work with would read it and implement the strategies. -- Erika ChapmanI think that this may be the only practical guide written to truly help the teacher of Experienced Multilinguals and provide resources that support and help Experienced Multilinguals progress and flourish.

Book SynopsisProvide the perfect structure and support to develop student independence.Effective scaffolding leads to learner autonomybut too many educators have been airlifting students to right answers, perpetuating a generation who don't know how to learn.
