Overview
The number of limited-English-speaking students entering schools continues to increase, as does the diversity of academic background and skills. Educators require specific preparation for teaching content area subject matter to students from a variety of language and cultural backgrounds. However, books for the preparation of teachers typically have been inadequate, until now. This book stems from the authors' desire to prepare teachers to deliver content area instruction to English language learners with diverse abilities using a sheltered instruction approach (teaching content area knowledge and skills in a more understandable way). The authors provide practical methods that demonstrate how to implement this type of instruction with the full range of learners. It also provides teachers with the support and direction needed in undertaking the sheltered approach. Any level of teacher, specifically those teaching ESL students and Special Education students.Editorials
