About this title

Synopsis

Wayne Wright's foundational text artfully bridges a major gap in the literature by making cutting edge research and policy analysis accessible to teacher educators and leaders. This impressive work offers pragmatic insights for the daily challenges that educators face in meeting the language acquisition and academic needs of English language learners. The book successfully links macro debates to the actual decision making power that educators have within their local domains of authority. This is truly an outstanding and empowering foundational work that will be appreciated by students, practitioners, and scholars. Terrence G. Wiley, Arizona State University

From the broad socio-political perspectives to promising classroom practices, this book addresses all the key aspects of education needed to understand, plan, and carry out engaging learning for bilingual students. Reader-friendly, this book is a must for all educators. Maria Estela Brisk, Boston College

Wayne Wright's deep respect for educational practitioners and his passion for English language learners' right to a fair and full education are evident in every word he writes. Wright's book and companion website offer a vision and pathway toward fostering dynamic learning communities---across schools, teacher education programs, and communities---to improve education for ELLs. Nancy Hornberger, University of Pennsylvania
