Reviews / Votes
"With the growing number of English Language Learners in U.S. schools, we teachers need all the strategies we can get to support them. Catherine Beck and Heidi Pace deliver plenty in Leading Learning for ELL Students."-Larry Ferlazzo, co-author of The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide, and teacher, Luther Burbank High School"There is a tremendous need for this book. Nationally, 1 in 4 students in public schools is an English Language Learner. This ratio is even greater in urban school districts across the country. So much of the literature about ELL students centers on classroom instruction, but this book addresses what administrative leadership can do to create supportive systems for all students."
-Paul Boyd-Batstone, California State University, Long Beach
