A critical and accessible text, this book provides a foundation for
translanguaging theory and practice with educating emergent
bilingual students. The product of the internationally renowned and
trailblazing City University of New York-New York State Initiative
on Emergent Bilinguals (CUNY-NYSIEB), this book draws on a common
vision of translanguaging to present different perspectives of its
practice and outcomes in real schools. It tells the story of the
collaborative project's positive impact on instruction and
assessment in different contexts, and explores the potential for
transformation in teacher education. Acknowledging oppressive
traditions and obstacles facing language minoritized students, this
book provides a pathway for combatting racism, monolingualism,
classism and colonialism in the classroom and offers narratives,
strategies and pedagogical practices to liberate and engage
emergent bilingual students. This book is an essential text for all
teacher educators, researchers, scholars, and students in TESOL and
bilingual education, as well as educators working with language
minoritized students.

In recent years, several symposia have been held on subjects
relating to the general theme of information processing in the
nervous system. It is now widely recognized that this whole field
is rapidly developing and changing in a manner beyond our
imaginings of a few years ago. When confronted with conceptual
revolutions of this kind, it is justifiable to have a continued
on-going discourse and disputation so that there is maximum
opportunity for interaction between the leaders of thought in all
the re lated disciplines. The conference organized by K. N.
Leibovic, and held at the State University of New York at Buffalo
from October 21st to 24th, 1968, made a notable contribution to
this interaction. It is fortunate that there is here being
published, not only the papers contributed to the sym posium, but
also much of the stimulating discussion. The term "neuronal
machinery" can be validly used because there is now good
understanding of the operational mechanisms of at least some of the
neuronal centers in the brain, and our knowledge of these
mechanisms is progressing in a most encouraging manner. The stated
objective by Prof. Leibovic, the organizer of the symposium, was
that it was designed to cor relate neuronal machinery with
psychophysiological phenomena. He calls attention to the urgency of
achieving a common conceptual basis for neuro anatomy,
neurophysiology, and psychology."
On June 30, 1997, the experiment, initiated in 1987, that gave
trial judges discretion to allow televised and still-camera
coverage of civil and criminal trial court proceedings in New York
State came to an end. After two years of investigation, a
12-member, state-appointed committee has issued its findings and
recommendations on the question of cameras in New York courts.
Their results are contained in An Open Courtroom. This book offers:
an introduction, executive summary; overview of the committee's
work; a summary of the current law; overview of camera laws in
other states and in federal courts; summary of the committee's
record; the committee's assessment and conclusions; recommendation;
appendices which include the results of a jurist poll and the
committee's judicial survey, interviews, and other pertinent data;
and a minority report/ dissent arguing against the committee's
recommendations.
