Content descriptions

Bibliography, etc. Note: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Formatted Contents Note: Introduction -- Need for advocacy for English learners -- Creating a shared sense of responsibility for teaching English learners -- How teachers can collaborate to expand advocacy efforts for ELs -- Advocacy overview for school and district administrators -- Increasing EL families' involvement through building their advocacy capacity -- Advocacy through effective instruction of ELs -- Advocating for ELs in assessment -- Advocacy for ELs' success beyond grade 12.
Summary, etc.: "English learners (ELs) are the fastest-growing segment of the K-12 population. But Els and their families, who are in the process of learning English and navigating an often-unfamiliar education system, may not have a voice powerful enough to articulate their needs. Consequently, all teachers and administrators must advocate for this all-important diverse group of students who will become tomorrow's workforce."--Back cover.
