Building upon the theoretical and practical foundation outlined in
their previous book, Educating English Learners, the authors show
classroom teachers how to develop a repertoire of instructional
techniques that address K-12 English learners (ELs) at different
English proficiency and grade levels, and across subject areas.
Show, Tell, Build is organized around two decision maps for
planning and implementing differentiated instruction for ELs: the
Academic Subjects Protocol (for teachers of academic subjects) and
the Language Arts Protocol (for teachers of language arts). The
instructional tools and techniques described in each chapter help
teachers provide communication support for ELs through showing and
telling, and develop their language proficiency through building
their skills. The book also discusses the demands that academic
language poses for English learners and ways to assess students'
proficiency in English. Show, Tell, Build provides classroom
teachers, English language development specialists, literacy
coaches, and school leaders with valuable knowledge and skills to
support ELs' academic success.
In Educating English Learners, Joyce W. Nutta and her colleagues
offer practical tools for helping schools and teachers successfully
integrate English learners into mainstream classrooms. Drawing on
the One Plus model presented in the award-winning book, Preparing
Every Teacher to Reach English Learners, the authors now turn their
attention to the needs of K-12 teachers who typically have two or
three English learners in their classrooms. English learners are
not a homogenous group, andthe challenges they face vary
tremendously. Nutta and her colleagues present protocols and case
studies to help preservice and in-service teachers understand the
needs of English learners in their classrooms and differentiate
instruction and assessment accordingly. Woven throughout the book
are the stories of Gero, Edith, Tasir, and Edgar, four case study
students of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of English
proficiency. The authors show how the protocols they provide can be
applied to adaptsample lessons for students like these, across a
range of grade levels, subject areas, and pedagogical approaches.
Finally, the authors show how the system can be applied schoolwide
for a collaborative approach to meeting English learners' needs.
Preparing Every Teacher to Reach English Learners presents a
practical, flexible model for infusing English learner (EL)
instruction into teacher education courses. The authors outline the
key steps involved in this approach-winning faculty support,
assessing needs, and developing capacity-and share strategies for
avoiding pitfalls. The central chapters feature sample courses
illustrating how EL content can be incorporated into standard
courses (human development, learning disabilities, and social
foundations) and across subject areas and topics (math, science,
social science, physical education, classroom management).
This book addresses the need to help all students, including
English learners, improve their ability to read with understanding
so that they can succeed not just in their language and literacy
classes, but also in their subject area classrooms. The book brings
together a group of experts representing the fields of first and
second language reading, whose chapters contribute in different yet
complementary ways to the goal of this book: Improve students'
reading for understanding across languages with metacognitive
awareness and use of reading strategies instruction.

During the past two decades, several changes have transformed core
practices of teacher educators. One of the most salient changes
pertains to dramatic shifts in school demographics. In practically
every state in the United States, primary, elementary, middle, and
high schools are experiencing expanding enrollments of students
whose primary language is not English. Recent demographic data show
that linguistically and culturally diverse students constitute an
increasingly strong presence in our schools and communities. There
are approximately 5 million ELs in the U.S., and this number is on
the rise. It is estimated that two-thirds of these students are in
at least one course taught by general education teachers. Growth in
K-12 EL enrollment has skyrocketed in the past 20 years. One in 20
public K-12 students was an EL in 1990. In 2008, it was one in
nine. Projections suggest that in 20 years it will be one in four.
The content of the book integrates new and emerging research and
policy insights that inform effective teaching of ELs across the
disciplines. The chapters in this book will in ways to give
teachers the tools they need to improve the quality of instruction
in classrooms with ELs in grades K-12 both in the United States and
around the world. In this book a select group of contributors
address a variety of topics to enhance ELs language and literacy
skills, as well increase their reading comprehension abilities
across the curriculum. Chapter topics include reading and writing
instruction focusing on the Common Core standards, classroom-based
assessment, literacy-based mathematics instruction, literacy
instruction using current technologies that include digital
literacies and social media, as well as context-embedded vocabulary
development using art.
