Re-Designing Teacher Education for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students

Through a critical-ecological lens, this book explores a comprehensive and ecological re-design of a teacher education program grounded in research on the complex factors that affect the teaching and learning of linguistically and culturally diverse children. Chapter authors challenge hegemonic cultural and linguistic norms, quantitative and static views of "resources," the impact of U.S. education policy, and the limited attention to the agency, identities, and strategic actions of diverse students and their families.
