Book Synopsis Teaching Emergent Bilingual Students by : C. Patrick Proctor
Download or read book Teaching Emergent Bilingual Students written by C. Patrick Proctor. This book was released on 2016-09-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent educational reform initiatives such as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) largely fail to address the needs--or tap into the unique resources--of students who are developing literacy skills in both English and a home language. This book discusses ways to meet the challenges that current standards pose for teaching emergent bilingual students in grades K-8. Leading experts describe effective, standards-aligned instructional approaches and programs expressly developed to promote bilingual learners' academic vocabulary, comprehension, speaking, writing, and content learning. Innovative policy recommendations and professional development approaches are also presented.
