In an effort to reverse the purported crisis in U.S. public
schools, the federal government, states, districts have mandated
policies that favor standardized approaches to teaching and
assessment. As a consequence, teachers have been relying on
teacher-centered instructional approaches that do not take into
consideration the needs, experiences, and interests of their
students; this is particularly pronounced with English learners
(ELs). The widespread implementation of these policies is
particularly striking in California, where more than 25% of all
public school students are ELs. This volume reports on three
studies that explore how teachers of ELs in three school districts
negotiated these policies. Drawing on sociocultural and
poststructural perspectives on agency and power, the authors
examine how contexts in which teachers of ELs lived and worked
influenced the messages they constructed about these policies and
mediated their decisions about policy implementation. The volume
provides important insights into processes affecting the learning
and teaching of ELs.
