This book details a three-year, multi-stranded study of teacher
education programs that prepare future teachers to work with
multilingual learners. The book examines how racism and linguicism
collaborate to shape the conditions under which teacher candidates
learn how to teach. The analysis traces dynamic shifts in thinking
and practice as participants reflected on their personal,
professional and academic experiences in relation to formal
curriculum and assessment policies to interpret what it means to
work with multilingual learners in the classroom. The book offers
guiding principles – above all,
learning from multilingual learners, not
only about them – and presents a suite of
teacher-education practices to disrupt the interplay of language
and race that so deeply shapes teacher-candidate learning about
multilingual learners.

Learning through practice lies at the heart of social work
education, providing the opportunity for students to develop and
employ the skills, experience and knowledge they need to become
effective social workers. This exciting new addition to Palgrave's
Practical Social Work series provides an integrated and
user-friendly approach to practice learning by putting placements
within a broader learning framework. Rather than treating
placements as an isolated aspect of the social work degree,
Practice Learning in Social Work shows how they are relevant to all
aspects of the social work experience. Divided in to three parts,
this book's pragmatic approach mirrors students' own journey as
they progress from preparation for practice, through to actual
experience, and then beyond this to support personal and
professional development right up to qualification as a Newly
Qualified Social Worker. With a strong emphasis on service users
and carers as central stake holders, Practice Learning in Social
Work illustrates the practical nature of the profession with
realistic case scenarios based on real life learning experiences,
reflective learning exercises and practice led research references
throughout. Progress checklists, linked to the Professional
Capabilities Framework, also provide readers with the opportunity
to assess their own strengths and learning needs.
