Читать книгу Equitable Access for English Learners, Grades K-6 - Mary Soto - Страница 6

Acknowledgments

We wish to acknowledge the efforts of the team at Corwin who have supported the development of this book. Maura Sullivan is a long-time colleague who has encouraged us as we have written many of our books. Presently, Maura is the director of marketing strategy and business development at Corwin. She has been actively involved in the production of Equitable Access from its inception.

Dan Alpert, our editor, provided insightful advice that helped shape our manuscript. His expertise in and understanding of language acquisition and his commitment to providing equitable education for all students were invaluable as we wrote and revised this book.

We also want to acknowledge the careful attention to detail that Mia Rodriguez, senior editorial assistant, and Lucas Schleicher, content development editor, gave to the production of the book. They worked on the layout and figures as well as developing the companion website with blackline masters to ensure a final high quality and reader-friendly product. Paula Bonilla provided the careful copyediting that is crucial for any book. Tori Mirsadjadi, project editor, oversaw all the steps involved in producing this book.

Ann Ebe, a knowledgeable teacher educator, provided many of the the photos and ideas for the seed unit that we describe in Chapter Two of Part Two of this book.

This book brings together what we have learned from students in schools, graduate students, and fellow university professors and researchers in the fields of ESL and bilingual education and literacy. We acknowledge the influence of all of these dedicated educators to this book.
