This book traces the recent socio-historical trajectory of
educational language policy in Arizona, the state with the most
restrictive English-only implementation in the US. Chapters, each
representing a case study of policy-making in the state, include: *
an overview and background of the English-only movement, the
genesis of Structured English Immersion (SEI), and current status
of language policy in Arizona; * an in-depth review of the Flores
case presented by its lead lawyer; * a look at early Proposition
203 implementation in the context of broader educational 'reform'
efforts; * examples of how early state-wide mandates impacted
teacher professional development; * a presentation of how new
university-level teacher preparation curricula misaligns with
commonly-held beliefs about what teachers of language minority
students should know and understand; * an exploration of
principals' concerns about enforcing top-down policies for SEI
implementation; * an investigation of what SEI policy looks like in
today's classrooms and whether it constitutes equity; * and
finally, a discussion of what the various cases mean for the
education of English learners in the state.
