And Justice for ELs is a resource every school leader must read
right away-for that matter, keep within arm's reach because you're
certain to refer to it constantly. Ayanna Cooper, a former U.S.
Department of State English Language Specialist, has "been there,
done that" and is now prepared to share with you how best to
translate today's federal mandates into actionable steps for
ensuring the civil rights of our nation's multilingual learners.
Because it is impossible to provide specific advice or guidance for
every possible situation, Ayanna focuses on the "need-to knows" for
making informed decisions within your own building: Eight questions
you must ask-and how to obtain answers-before planning English
language development services The most common EL program models,
with special emphasis on scheduling, along with specific challenges
and appropriate staffing The why and how of evaluating English
language education, regardless of the evaluation tool, and ways to
facilitate conversations with teachers before and after observation
How to determine the type of professional learning that will have
the greatest impact in your unique context Recommendations for
establishing productive relationships with linguistically diverse
families and communities Just about every tool you could possibly
need, including a glossary of acronyms, useful advocacy
organizations, and templates for supporting professional learning
But what you'll love most is the way Ayanna "keeps it real." Every
chapter is framed around a "What Would You Do?" scenario, for which
she ultimately provides an answer(s) as well as guiding questions
to help you think through the issues. Take a look for yourself. We
know you'll agree that And Justice for ELs is without question a
one-of-a-kind resource. "And Justice for ELs is an excellent guide
for practitioners who seek to provide their English learners with
high-quality instruction in all subject areas. Too often such
students are relegated an education that marginalizes them
academically and fails to develop their native language skills. We
can and must do a better job for these students, and in this book
Ayanna Cooper shows us how." ~Pedro A. Noguera
Unique Student Strengths and Needs Require Unique Teacher
Evaluation Methods. Teacher evaluation should never be used in a
"one-size-fits-all" manner, especially when evaluating all teachers
who work with English Learners (ELs) and students with
disabilities. Evaluations of all teachers who work with diverse
learners require unique considerations. Such considerations are
precisely what you'll learn in this comprehensive, action-oriented
book. Backed by research and case studies, the authors detail: Four
Principles for Inclusive Teacher Evaluation of diverse learners
compatible with the Danielson and Marzano frameworks Specialized
"look-fors" evaluators can use and adapt to recognize effective
teaching of diverse learners Strategies for coaching teachers who
need more support reaching diverse learners
