Providing all students with a fair opportunity to learn (OTL) is
perhaps the most pressing issue facing U.S. education. Moving
beyond conventional notions of OTL - as access to content, often
content tested; access to resources; or access to instructional
processes - the authors reconceptualize OTL in terms of interaction
among learners and elements of their learning environments. Drawing
on sociocultural, sociological, psychometric, and legal
perspectives, this book provides historical critique, theory and
principles, and concrete examples of practice through which
learning, teaching, and assessment can be re-envisioned to support
fair OTL for all students. This book offers educators, researchers,
and policy analysts new to sociocultural perspectives a readable
and engaging introduction to fresh ideas for conceptualizing,
enhancing, and assessing OTL; encourages those who already draw on
sociocultural resources to focus attention on OTL and assessment;
and nurtures collaboration among members of discourse communities
who have rarely engaged one another's work.
