This meticulously crafted second edition is a book for our time, and for decades to come. --Magaly Lavadenz, Loyola Marymount University

What makes the second edition of this valuable guide so special is that the authors do not leave behind any multilingual learners. --Ofelia García, City University of New York

This thoroughly updated edition presents a model for how K-12 educators can design high-quality, challenging, and supportive learning opportunities for multilingual learners.

Starting with the premise that conceptual, analytic, and language practices develop simultaneously as students engage in disciplinary learning, the authors argue for instruction that amplifies--rather than simplifies--expectations, concepts, texts, and learning tasks. They offer clear guidance for designing well-supported lessons with examples that demonstrate the approach in elementary and secondary classrooms across various subject areas (math, science, language arts, and social studies) and contexts (including newcomer classrooms and a new chapter written in Spanish on instruction in students' home languages).

This resource guides teachers through the coherent design of tasks, lessons, and units that invite all students to engage in productive, meaningful, dialogic, and intellectually engaging activity. The book concludes with a discussion of where teachers might begin and how teacher educators, professional development providers, and educational leaders can support them in these efforts.
