Eleven chapters focus on how to effectively teach children from homes in which a language other than English is spoken. Discussions include a summary of relevant research on the development of a second language, literacy and content knowledge; a review of past evaluation studies; what is known about effective schools and classrooms for these children; an examination of research on the education of teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse students; a critical review of the system for the collection of education statistics as it relates to this student population; and recommendations for changes in the infrastructure that supports research on these students.
