Reviews

"This book should be on every school leader’s reading list. It is both inspirational and practical. Framing the content around the key elements that help culturally and linguistically diverse school populations, the authors provide research and practice ideas that can be easily considered by school leaders both novice and experienced. The exercises help leaders see the new mainstream students in a new light." --María Estela Brisk, Professor of Teacher Education, Lynch School of Education, Boston College"Scanlan and Lopez have taken a unique approach to help school leaders effectively meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students. A seamless blend of theory and practice, this book offers school leaders tools for supporting strategies that facilitate language learning. It is a must-read for campus principals, bilingual education directors, and teachers who work with CLD students."--Mariela A. Rodriguez, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, The University of Texas at San Antonio
