A highly-praised, passionately-written overview of basic principles, practices, and methods for educating English learners, this much-used guide covers such topics as multi-level methods for differentiated instruction, Common Core standards, teaching of content vocabulary, and computer-mediated instruction. It's designed to maximize teachers' effectiveness in three major areas-1) expanding English learners' access to the core curriculum, 2) instructing all students with a rich and demanding curriculum, and 3) making crosscultural connections through teaching practices and curricular content-and to work at many levels simultaneously.
