Beyond Good Teaching: Advancing Mathematics Education for ELLs
The road between research and practice is a two-way street that must be traversed persistently by classroom teachers and their counterparts in higher education. In this book, this road is well traveled, and strong connections are made among students, teachers, culture, and community. A most worthwhile addition to our field! --Miriam A. Leiva, founding president, TODOS: Mathematics for ALL; Bonnie E. Cone Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of North Carolina-CharlotteTo improve the mathematics proficiency of all students, instruction must address the needs of those who are not native speakers of English. This book is a valuable resource, offering fresh insights and useful approaches from classroom teachers and university researchers. --Ed Silver, dean, School of Education, University of Michigan-DearbornHaving had varied experiences in teaching mathematics to ELLs, I am delighted that this book bridges effective classroom practices and the results emerging from research. Researchers and practitioners come together, presenting compelling, real contexts where specific research-based strategies have been successfully implemented. --Gilbert Cuevas, professor, Department of Mathematics, Texas State University-San MarcosTo improve the mathematics proficiency of all students, instruction must address the needs of those who are not native speakers of English.
