Embrace the future by ensuring English Learners have a voice in school. English Learners (ELs) are the fastest-growing segment of the K–12 population. But ELs and their families—who are in the process of learning English and navigating an often-unfamiliar education system—may not have a powerful enough voice to articulate their needs. Consequently, all teachers and administrators must advocate for this all-important diverse group of students who will become tomorrow’s workforce. This book demystifies the techniques of advocacy for ELs, including: A shared sense of responsibility for EL success—Providing tools that every educator can use to ensure that ELs are effectively served. An overview for administrators—Influencing policy and fostering a culture that meets EL needs Advocacy for ELs’ success beyond Grade 12—Equipping ELs for life after graduation, from higher education to career decisions ELs will continue to grow in number, and leaving them and their families voiceless is simply not an option. No educator can miss this essential book. "In many ways, the history of American Education is the history of a quest for equality. Dr. Staehr Fenner lends a human face to the experience of English Learners and encourages us to think in terms of what attributes ELs bring to their learning experience and how others can benefit from their presence in the classroom. This book is a promising, uplifting, and much-needed call for action!" — Rosa Aronson, Executive Director TESOL International Association, Alexandria, VA On-line book study–available now! Author Staehr Fenner’s company, SupportEd, has created an on-demand LMS book study for readers of Advocating for English Learners A Guide for Educators.
