It is written for teacher candidates and both new and experienced practicing teachers who want to design and deliver effective instructional paradigms across this country's diverse classrooms. Chapter authors bring to this book their experiences as teachers at levels K-12. Many of them learned English as a second language and experienced life as an EL in U.S. classrooms. They were all teachers who along the way began to work with ELs. Their engagement with culturally diverse students led them to become teacher educators. They are committed to preparing teachers who are energized to learn about their ELs' cultures and who want to make the schoolhouse a culturally responsive environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscover pathways for enriching English learners’ success.
