Читать книгу Navigating the Common Core with English Language Learners - Sypnieski Katie - Страница 6

Larry Ferlazzo: I'd like to thank my family – Stacia, Rich, Shea, Ava, Nik, Karli, and especially my wife, Jan – for their support. In addition, I need to express appreciation to my coauthor, Katie Hull Sypnieski, who has been a friend, classroom neighbor and coteacher for 11 years. I would also like to thank Kelly Young at Pebble Creek Labs and my many colleagues at Luther Burbank High School, including former principal Ted Appel and present principal Jim Peterson, for their assistance over the years. And, probably most important, I'd like to thank the many English language learner students who have made me a better teacher – and a better person. I must also thank David Powell, who has done an extraordinary job in making presentable manuscripts for all of my books, including this one. Finally, I must offer a big “Thank you” to Marjorie McAneny, Shauna Robinson, and Victoria Garrity at Jossey-Bass for their patience and guidance in preparing this book.

Katie Hull Sypnieski: I would like to thank all of my family members, especially David, Drew, Ryan, and Rachel, for their love and support. I'd also like to thank my dear friend Hannah, my neighbor Nancy, and my father-in-law, Douglas, who made it possible for me to work on this book during the summer when my kids were at home! Thank you to my amazing colleagues at Luther Burbank, especially Pam Buric, Dana Dusbiber, and Lara Hoekstra, for their collaboration and support over the years. Thanks to my coauthor, Larry Ferlazzo, whom I'm proud to call my colleague and my friend. Thank you also to the many educators at the California Writing Project who have taught me so much over the years. I must also thank Marjorie McAneny, Shauna Robinson, and Victoria Garrity at Jossey-Bass for all of the help they've provided to us. Finally, to the many students whom I've had the honor of teaching – thank you for all the love, laughter, and learning you've brought into my life.

Both of us want to give a special thanks to the extraordinary educators who have contributed lesson plans and chapters to this book and to supplemental online content: Wendy Jennings, Elisabeth Johnson, Caleb Cheung, Laura Prival, Claudio Vargas, Diana Vélez, John Doolittle, Laura Gibbs, and Leticia Gallardo.
