ENGLISH LEARNERS AT HOME AND AT SCHOOL Stories and Strategies Joyce Nutta
Nov 2021 160pp 9781682536902 Paperback US$33.00
In this highly readable volume, Joyce Nutta helps to build the bridge of knowledge and empathy between teachers and the English learners they support. In an inspired approach to the topic, she presents six compelling portraits of English learners who come from different cultural backgrounds and who are at different points in their educational journeys, from pre-school to college. Informed by real-life observations, extensive interviews, and academic research, these lively portrayals highlight issues and concerns that commonly arise in multicultural and multilingual learning and teaching. Nutta accompanies each profile with details on the specific cultural, linguistic, and educational factors at play and offers sound practical guidance for supporting English learner achievement in classrooms. She suggests educational strategies, including establishing dual-language classrooms, adapting instruction, and inviting parent participation, that can scaffold English learners’ academic success.
PREPARING AND SUSTAINING SOCIAL JUSTICE EDUCATORS Edited by Annamarie Francois & Karen Hunter Quartz Oct 2021 256pp 9781682536520 Paperback US$33.00
Spotlights the challenging and necessary work of fostering social justice in schools. Integral to this work are the teachers and school leaders who enact the principles of social justice - racial equity, cultural inclusivity, and identity acceptance - daily in their classrooms. This volume makes the case that high-quality public education relies on the recruitment, professional development, and retention of educators ready to navigate complex systemic and structural inequities to best serve vulnerable student populations. Annamarie Francois and Karen Hunter Quartz, along with contributing scholars and practitioners, present an intersectional approach to educational justice. The approach is grounded in research about deeper learning, community development, and school reform. Throughout the book the contributors detail professional activities proven to sustain social justice educators.

Helps education leaders and practitioners develop a shared understanding of what high-quality instruction looks like and what schools and districts need to do to support it. The authors have pioneered a new form of professional learning known as instructional rounds networks. Through this process, educators develop a shared practice of observing, discussing, and analysing learning and teaching.
All too often, educators say that the biggest waste of time is meetings. This book attempts to bring about a fundamental shift in how educators think about the meetings they attend. The authors make the case that these gatherings are potentially the most important venue where adult and organisational learning can take place in schools.
