“This timely volume provides principles for how mathematics teacher educators can support pre- and in-service teachers in learning to teach mathematics to English Learners. The chapters illustrate multiple approaches to help secondary teachers develop productive beliefs, engage ELs in mathematical practices, and provide ELs with opportunities to learn important mathematics with understanding. The studies show that teachers can teach mathematics while also paying attention to language, an essential component for addressing equity issues for ELs in secondary mathematics classrooms.” (Judit Moschkovich, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA)
“Establishing language and culture as assets, the authors brilliantly combine areas of expertise in mathematics education and ELLs to prepare secondary mathematics pre-service and in-service teachers to support ELLs in engaging with cognitively demanding tasks. Rarely do teacher educators and instructional leaders have access to resources that provide research-based practices at the secondary level, and this book does exactly that.” (Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis, University of New Mexico, USA)
