This edited volume brings the important topic of teacher well-being
to the fore, presenting a range of high quality and cutting-edge
contributions that illuminate, advance and educate readers on the
challenges and criticality of achieving teacher well-being in
English language teaching (ELT). Taking Sarah Mercer's call for
action to make teacher well-being a priority in the ELT field, and
adopting an ecological perspective reflective of the stance that
teacher well-being is a societal duty and not a personal
responsibility, the contributors present theoretically and
methodologically innovative research studies from all around the
world. The term 'teacher' is used to refer to those who deliver
English instruction in a variety of formal and informal educational
settings and at different levels including K-12 schools, adult
education, higher education, teacher education programs, and in
community organizations. Chapters offer clear implications for
research and practice, and explore effective practices and
interventions that can contribute to the improvement of teacher
well-being overall. Addressing a profession which is not only
characterized as being filled with high levels of stress, but
delving into specific challenges around ELT in particular, the
authors crucially speak to themes around the additional emotional
investment and labor which come with being an English language
teacher. As such, it will appeal to academics and researchers in
the field of English language teaching, including
scholar-practitioners, and teacher educators.
This book examines students with limited or interrupted education
(SLIFE) in the context of English learners and teacher preparation
courses from a cultural and social lens. The book is divided into
five parts. Part I frames the conversation and contributions in
this edited volume; Part II provides an overview of SLIFE, Part III
focuses on teacher preparation programs, Part IV discusses the
challenges faced by SLIFE in K-12 learning environments and Part V
examines SLIFE in adult learning environments. This book is unique
in that it offers practical instructional tools to educators, thus
helping to bridge theory and practice. Moreover, it retains a
special focus on K-12 and adult SLIFE and has an inclusive and
international perspective, which includes a novel theoretical
framework to support the mental, emotional, and instructional needs
of LGBTQ+ refugee students. The book is of interest to teacher
educators, in-service and pre-service teachers, English literacy
educators, graduate students, tutors, facilitators, instructors,
and administrators working in organizations serving SLIFE in K-12
and adult learning environments.
In this edited book sponsored by the ATE Diversity Committee, we
invited teacher educators to engage in critical dialogue and
reflection around theories, issues, complexities, and challenges of
antiracist teacher education and to exchange critical ideas and
theory/research-informed practices for preparing antiracist
teachers. The audience for this book are teacher educators in all
disciplinary areas and at all levels. It is also intended for
administrators and policy makers leading teacher education programs
at national or state levels. In light of the racial injustice and
tension the country has witnessed and experienced recently,
achieving racial justice is at the front and center of numerous
conversations in schools, the workplace, and communities around the
country. There is an urgent need for teacher educators to support
the cause. This book is a direct response to such a call and is
timely and much needed.

In this edited book sponsored by the ATE Diversity Committee, we
invited teacher educators to provide their stories from the field
of education, related to antiracist instruction in teacher
education. The stories took the form of narratives and
counternarratives. The engaging ideas, activities, and suggestions
throughout provide readers with much content to reflect on and
apply in their teacher education classrooms and programs. Education
advocates and policy makers would also be interested in hearing the
perspectives of these educators, as they bring to light much
information that is not clear through just the numbers or
quantitative statistics. These in-depth rich descriptions provide
high quality information that would be beneficial to educators in
various settings and subject areas, as this is an antiracist
teacher education is an issue that goes across all areas in
education.
