Summary This book shows how present educational policies and practices to educate language minority students in the United States ignore an essential characteristic- their emergent bilingualism. In this guide, the authors compile the most up-to-date research findings to demonstrate how ignoring children's bilingualism perpetuates inequities in their schooling. It also offers a thorough description of alternative practices that would transform our schools and student's futures, such as building on student's home languages and literacy practices in schools, as well as incorporating curricular and pedagogical innovations, new approaches to parent and community engagement, and alternative assessment tools. -- from Back Cover.
