Hispanic and Latino students now represent the largest ethnic group
educated in the United States public school system. That means the
ability to successfully educate Hispanic and Latino students, from
pre-kindergarten to graduate school, is now of primary importance
to the future of the United States. Under this critical context,
Jaime Castellano's Educating Hispanic and Latino Students: Opening
the Doors to Hope, Promise, and Possibility arrives at the perfect
moment to help educators better understand the Hispanic and Latino
student demographic, and more importantly, uncover the strategies
and implementation practices to better educate this burgeoning
population. Topics covered include: The influence of poverty on the
education of Hispanic/Latino students The challenge of identity
when educating Hispanic/Latino students Educating the "whole child"
and what this means for Hispanic/Latino students Engaging America's
Hispanic/Latino parents and families Supporting Hispanic/Latino
students through curriculum, instruction, and assessment By
recognizing that Hispanic and Latino students are vital linguistic,
economic, and social resources to our society, Castellano's
Hispanic and Latino Students: Opening the Doors to Hope, Promise,
and Possibility is rooted in the firm belief that educational
equity, access, and higher expectations should be the driving force
to provide Hispanic and Latino students a quality education that
prepares them for a successful and meaningful future.

Cohan, Honigsfeld, and Dove bring together current research,
authentic examples of best practices, and voices from the field to
champion the power of purposeful collaboration and provide
educators with resources that will empower them to support English
learners (ELs) and their families. Guided by four core principles
(common purpose, shared mindset, diverse team membership,
supportive environment), the authors explain how to meet the
challenges of collaborating with ELs and help all
stakeholders-administrators, teachers, students, parents, community
leaders-develop new and effective ways of working together for the
success of each learner.
