Parents of English Language Learners (ELLs) represent a vital source of support for increased student engagement and achievement; they bring skills, values and knowledge that would benefit both students and teachers. Most importantly, they bring profound commitment and motivation: The majority of the parents of ELLs have come to the United States in order that they and their children will have a “better life.” And many of these families quickly come to believe that supporting their... - 1/26/10 - Kozeski, Elizabeth B., Equity Alliance at ASU
"In 2000, Professor Geneva Gay wrote that culturally responsive teaching connects students’ cultural knowledge, prior experiences, and performance styles to academic knowledge and intellectual tools in ways that legitimize what students already know. By embracing the sociocultural realities and histories of students through what is taught and how, culturally responsive teachers negotiate classrooms cultures with their students that reflect the communities where students develop and grow... - 1/14/10 - Kathleen A.

This toolkit is developed by NIUSI to assess networks of schools engaging their faculty, staff, families, students, and community members in ongoing renewal and systemic change. The toolkit is organized around three areas... - 1/10/09 - Alicja Rieger, Ewa McGrail, Equity Alliance at ASU
This OnPoint tackles the complexity of English language learners’ needs from our point of view. We are native Polish-speaking teacher educators who use our own experiences and knowledge as English language learners in methods courses that we teach in teacher education programs in the United States.

Student engagement with school, a multidimensional construct, is considered the primary theoretical model for understanding dropout and is, quite frankly, the bottom line in interventions to promote school completion. Variously described as a commitment to and investment in learning, identification and belonging at school, participation in the school environment, and initiation of an activity to accomplish an outcome, engagement is associated with desired academic, social, and emotional... - 1/23/09 - Ethan Yazzie-Mintz

Ever walk into a classroom during a walkthrough or walk-by and immediately felt compelled to sit down? A masterful teacher has just engaged you! You already know the content; you can even guess what sub-objectives are about to be laid out in front of you – but because of the strategies being demonstrated– you must participate. This is rigorous learning; urgency at its best – and this is what professional developers must use to change teaching. - 1/16/09 - Bruce Vandal
