The central issue of this volume is how to meet the linguistic and
academic needs of the increasing numbers of English learners (ELs).
At the center of educational turns is the role of school
professionals in this Common Core Standards era. Teacher education
programs and professional development, or pre-service and
in-service programs for teachers of ELs, are currently being
reframed to reflect the new demands placed on all teachers in light
of the new standards. The expectation is that ELs can learn, and
their teachers possess the expertise to teach, both discipline
content and academic English at the same time. The large numbers of
ELs across the country have created a wide gap between what
teachers have been trained to do and the skills they need to teach
and reach them effectively. This practical handbook brings together
research, policy and practice on teacher effectiveness, pre-service
and in-service programs in the context of student linguistic and
cultural diversity. Key features include: Clearly articulated
teacher training and professional development programs; Coverage of
Common Core curriculum and a variety of instructional programs and
practices with research-based tools to implement them; Policies to
equitably and effectively prepare ELs academically and
linguistically.
