GRADES PreK–12


Community Literacies en Confianza Learning from Bilingual After-School Programs Steven Alvarez


Most teachers of English language learners are not adequately prepared to meet the challenges of working with this growing demographic of K–12 students. Alvarez argues that teachers’ greatest resources are the students themselves, with both a facility in their home language and ties to their home communities. He highlights the importance of building mutual trust, or confianza, between students, schools, and communities,


both inside and outside of the classroom. Alvarez offers ideas for approaching, engaging, and partnering with students’ communities to design culturally sustaining pedagogies that productively use the literacy abilities students bring to schools.

GRADES 9–12


Navigating Trauma in the English Classroom


Adam Wolfsdorf, Kristen Park Wedlock, and Cassandra Lo


Trauma, which has long been buried within the taboos of societal discourse, has recently gained a sense of legitimacy. Statistics from the CDC indicate that trauma is far more ubiquitous than society wishes to accept or acknowledge. And yet despite trauma’s augmented


presence within the public discourse, it remains a source of tremendous ambivalence—particularly within schools. By exploring how trauma impacts students’ ability to read literature, write, and engage, English teachers will be better prepared when relating to students who get triggered by content that evokes past traumas.

GRADES 9–COLLEGE


Transforming Literacy Education for Long-Term


English Learners


Recognizing Brilliance in the Undervalued


Maneka Deanna Brooks


Grounded in research on bilingualism and adolescent literacy, this book provides a much-needed insight into the day-to- day needs of students identified as long- term English language learners (LTELs). Challenging the deficit perspective often applied to their experiences of language learning, Brooks counters incorrect characterizations of LTELs and sheds light on students’ strengths to argue that effective literacy education requires looking beyond policy classifications that are often used to guide educational decisions.


By combining research, theory, and practice, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of literacy pedagogy to facilitate teacher learning and includes practical takeaways and implications for classroom practice and professional development. NCTE-Routledge Research Series
