"There is no book I recommend to teachers more often. This comprehensive, practical guide is everything a teacher needs to understand and apply strategies that will truly improve outcomes for students learning English. In this new edition, Staehr Fenner, Snyder, and Gregoire-Smith are responsive to the most salient issues today in the field of ESOL, as schools across the US strive to provide high-quality education to growing numbers of SLIFE and to ensure effective, research-based literacy instructional practices for all multilingual learners.
"Every K-12 teacher needs to be effective with multilingual learners. This practical, asset-oriented book that helps teachers put theory into action to unlock MLs’ potential!"
"As part of the Title III English Learner Support Grant through the Ohio Department of Education, Painesville City Local Schools worked through the Unlocking text with their EL Department. Professional learning sessions were led by SupportEd and covered vocabulary development, scaffolding, academic and oral language development, building background knowledge and formative assessments. The content in Unlocking provided easy to understand examples, scenarios, and suggestions. In addition the text encouraged staff discussion and collaboration on implementation ideas.
"Collecting, analyzing and using various data points are key to supporting positive outcomes that center on the unique needs of multilingual students. Staehr Fenner, Snyder and Gregoire-Smith provide data ready resources that can be easily embedded across content areas and into instructional practices. The strategies highlighted in this edition help teachers afford more opportunities for students, especially newcomers and SLIFE, to practice, collect, reflect and analyze their own learning experiences."
