This volume identifies resources, models, and specific practices
for improving teacher preparation for work with second language
learners. It shows how faculty positioned themselves to learn from
resources, experts, preservice teachers, their own practice, and
each other. The teacher education professionals leverage their
experience to offer theoretical and practical insights regarding
how other faculty could develop their own knowledge, improve their
courses, and understand their influence on the preservice teachers
they serve. The book addresses challenges others are likely to
experience while improving teacher preparation, including
preservice teacher resistance, the challenge of adding to
already-packed courses, the difficulty of recruiting and retaining
busy faculty members, and the question of how to best frame the
larger issues. The authors also address options for integrating the
work of improving teacher preparation for linguistic diversity into
a variety of different teacher education program designs. Finally,
the book demonstrates a data-driven approach that makes this work
consistent with many institutions' mandate to produce research and
to collect evidence supporting accreditation.

Post 9-11, post Iraqi invasion, post (we wish) the War on
Terrorism, there is a great deal of interest in safety in the
public domain, both in the political realm and among the general
public. Individuals and society as a whole are increasingly
concerned with protection and security for themselves and their
material possessions. These newfound worries have repercussions for
the layout, design, and management of public and semi-public
places, imposing new demands on artists, designers, commissioners,
and policy makers. "Open 6 examines the root causes of the public
desire for safety. The authors consider theoretical and practical
scenarios, proposals and visions from the realms of art,
architecture, philosophy, and politics, in an attempt to lay bare
something of the modern-day safety paradigm. Alternatively, the
authors argue the need for new models. The contributors also
provide insight into the current state of the modern-day
practicalities of the aesthetics and ethics of safety in essays
which directly consider real places or (art) projects.
