Exemplary teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse students : what are the knowledge and skills that undergird their classroom practices?
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This study identifies and characterizes the knowledge and skills exhibited by three exemplary teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse students in bilingual elementary classrooms. Numerous studies have demonstrated low levels of educational achievement for culturally and linguistically diverse student such as Latino English Learners yet research has also shown that teachers can be a powerful factor in students' learning and achievement. Teachers often cite lack of skills and preparation needed to effectively teach this population of students effectively. This study identifies and describes the classroom practices of three first grade teachers that promoted academic achievement and acquisition of English. This study also explores how it is that these teachers believe they learned to be successful teachers as well as details their efforts to advocate for Latino ELs.
