- Used Book in Good Condition
''Learning from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Classrooms takes us inside classrooms and helps us identify what quality instruction for diverse learners should look like.''
--From the Foreword by Douglas Fisher, San Diego State University

''Fingon and Ulanoff have compiled a set of bold and authentic classroom studies by teacher educators and classroom teachers who advocate for and use inquiry as a powerful research method to inform teaching and learning practices, and ultimately to improve education for minoritized children.''
--Christian Faltis, University of California, Davis and editor of Teacher Education Quarterly

''In this very readable and engaging book, Fingon and Ulanoff have achieved the ambitious objective of both reporting on classroom-based research on English language learners and providing excellent guidance for teachers who may want to conduct such research in their own classrooms. Educators of ELLs from preschool to high school will find something to learn from in this book.''
--Kathy Escamilla, University of Colorado at Boulder
