Centering Multilingual Learners (book coming)

An essential how to guide for secondary teachers

I have been writing, revising, editing, and sharing drafts of this book with teachers and colleagues for the past 2 1/2 years. I wrote a book for practitioners based on 30+ years of teaching and current research.

I so appreciate this community.

I’m excited to tell you that my book will be published this next week. I don’t have a link yet, but I will send it out as soon as I do.

This book is written for teachers with intellectual agility, compassionate hearts, and creative minds — those who want to support their students and appreciate specific strategies. This essential guide is compact, research-based, and includes the most basic supports. It's accessible with ideas that can be implemented in a teacher's established or current structure.

This book will provide secondary teachers with essential tools to support Multilingual Learners (MLs) in your classes. After reading this book, teachers will have two main takeaways: one, you’ll realize that your classroom is enhanced when you are fortunate enough to have Multilingual Learners in it; two, you’ll have the tools to support MLs in your classroom and see their growth without compromising the learning of primarily English speakers.

Let me know if you have ideas on how to get this into the hands of teachers who need support.
