Preparing Every Teacher to Reach English Learners: A Practical Guide for Teacher Educators

Preparing Every Teacher to Reach English Learners presents a practical, flexible model for infusing English learner (EL) instruction into teacher education courses.

The authors outline the key steps involved in this approach winning faculty support, assessing needs, and developing capacity and share strategies for avoiding pitfalls. The central chapters feature sample courses illustrating how EL content can be incorporated into standard courses (human development, learning disabilities, and social foundations) and across subject areas and topics (math, science, social science, physical education, classroom management).
