By now it's a given: if we're to help our ELLs and SELs access the rigorous demands of today's content standards, we must explicitly teach the \"code\" that drives school success: academic language. Look no further than this much-anticipated series, in which Ivannia Soto invites field authorities to share every teacher's need-to-know strategies on the four essential components of academic language. The subject of this volume is culture. Here, Noma LeMoine makes clear once and for all how culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy validates, facilitates, liberates, and empowers ethnically diverse students. | Academic Language Mastery by Margarita Calderón, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
