English Learners, Academic Literacy, and Thinking Deep understanding, critical thinking, subject knowledge, and control of academic literacy are goals we have for all our students. Pauline Gibbons presents an action-oriented approach that gives English learners high-level support to match our high expectations. Focusing on the middle grades of school, she shows how to plan rigorous, literacy-oriented, content-based instruction and illustrates what a high-challenge, high-support curriculum looks like in practice.Strongly recommended by Jim Cummins in Books & Videos/DVDs: Professional Development > English Language Learnerswith acedemiccontentgibbonshotsliteracypaurlathinking
