Larry's Bio: "I teach Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced English Language Learners (as well as native English speakers) at Luther Burbank High School in Sacramento, California. I’ve been a high school teacher for five years after spending nineteen years working as a community organizer. In addition to writing this blog and maintaining my website, I also have another blog titled Engaging Parents In School. In addition, I write regularly for the In Practice blog. “In Practice” is written by a group of teachers from around the world who teach in low-income communities. Alice Mercer began In Practice in 2007."
From Amazon.com: "Written by an award-winning practitioner, English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies that Work offers educators a five-step methodology for teaching this burgeoning population. Rather than viewing these students through the typical lens of "deficits" they might have, the process helps educators recognize and use the assets ELLs bring to the classroom.
"The five principles around which the process revolves are: building relationships, accessing prior knowledge through student stories, developing student leadership, learning by doing, and reflection. The book shows how these ideas can be used in all subject areas to help ELLs master both content and language using 'high-order' thinking skills. In addition to providing detailed lessons, the book shares a framework teachers can use to create their own lessons, and it shows how to take advantage of technology and games as teaching tools. References to extensive research studies are included to provide evidence of effectiveness, and each lesson is linked to state standards in English Language development."
