O knihe

There is a growing need for knowledge and practical ideas about the preparation of teachers for
English language learners (ELLs), a growing segment of the K-12 population in the United
States. This book is for teachers, administrators, and teacher educators looking for innovative
ways to prepare teachers for ELLs and will position teachers to empower these students. This
volume will appeal mostly to those preparing teachers in contexts that have not have historically
had large numbers of ELLs, but have had a high rate of recent growth (e.g., Midwestern U.S.).
This work is the combination of teacher preparation and ELL issues. This volume is unique in
tackling pre-service and inservice teacher preparation. Additionally, the chapters collectively aim to go beyond merely equipping
teachers to meet the needs of ELLs, but to reach a level of effectiveness with the outcome of equity.
The book highlights the knowledge, skills, and beliefs of teachers about ELLs. Part I addresses teacher perceptions of, and beliefs
about, ELLs and teacher preparation specifically addressing what they should know in terms of students' perspectives. Chapters attend
to the experiences and beliefs of immigrant teachers about their roles, the role of service learning in teacher preparation, and the
potential of understanding home literacy practices to change teacher beliefs about ELLs. Part II focuses on skills necessary to teach
ELLs-writing skills teachers can draw on to inform their teaching practices, technological skills teachers need to develop, and skills
related to focusing on the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and
mathematics. Each chapter explicitly addresses implications for teacher education or
professional development.
