Scaffolding the academic success of adolescent English language learners

This book is the result of a decade long-effort, in such school districts as New York City, Austin, and San Diego, to implement challenging instruction specifically in classrooms that include English learners. Classroom vignettes, transcripts of student interactions, and detailed examples of intellectually engaging lessons provide a concrete picture of the instructional approach developed by the Quality Teaching for English Learners (QTEL) initiative.--Provided by publisher.
