CP5492
Discover the research and facts on what works in educating English learners! A generation or two ago, the achievement of children who came to school knowing little or no English was not a prominent national issue. Today, with the increased focus on school accountability and educational equity, it is. This comprehensive resource explores the research on promoting academic success among language-minority students. The authors offer educators a firm basis for making decisions on policies and programs for English learners and provide research-based discussions on what we know about: •Bilingual education and using a student’s home language in instruction •Teaching English and academic content simultaneously •School and district factors that affect achievement for English learners •Sociocultural factors in success, including the influence of parents and families
