Synopsis

Building upon the theoretical and practical foundation outlined in their previous book, Educating English Learners, the authors show classroom teachers how to develop a repertoire of instructional techniques that address K–12 English learners (ELs) at different English proficiency and grade levels, and across subject areas.

Show, Tell, Build is organized around two decision maps for planning and implementing differentiated instruction for ELs: the Academic Subjects Protocol (for teachers of academic subjects) and the Language Arts Protocol (for teachers of language arts). The instructional tools and techniques described in each chapter help teachers provide communication support for ELs through showing and telling, and develop their language proficiency through building their skills. The book also discusses the demands that academic language poses for English learners and ways to assess students' proficiency in English.

Show, Tell, Build provides classroom teachers, English language development specialists, literacy coaches, and school leaders with valuable knowledge and skills to support ELs' academic success.

From the Back Cover

Show, Tell, Build helps classroom teachers develop a repertoire of instructional techniques that address K-12 English learners (ELs) at different English proficiency and grade levels, and across subject areas. The instructional tools and techniques described in each chapter help teachers provide communication support for ELs through showing and telling, and develop their language proficiency through building their skills. The book provides planning and implementation guidelines for the Academic Subjects Protocol (for teachers of academic subjects) and the Language Arts Protocol (for teachers of language arts) and provides educators with valuable knowledge and skills to support ELs' academic success.

"Expertly written and elegantly crafted, Show, Tell, Build is a comprehensive guide for English learner instruction, K-12. Rather than a random collection of strategies, subject teachers and administrators will discover a framework for teaching ELs by design. The two governing protocols organize instructional tools and techniques purposefully and strategically to ensure significant academic gains."
--Paul Boyd-Batstone, professor and chair of the Department of Teacher Education, California State University Long Beach

"Show, Tell Build is a logic map for each EL-integrated classroom in the country! This book provides twenty high-yield strategies, tools, and resources that result in success in meeting grade-level and language demands in each area of content for each EL. It is a must-have for all educators who understand that 'The same is not enough!' for our ELs."
--Natasa Karac, K-12 ESOL/Title III specialist, Pinellas County Schools, Florida
