Acknowledgments

“Where do you get such great ideas?” a teaching colleague once asked me. “In meetings like these,” I said. “From teachers like you.” Thousands of classroom teachers, administrators, students, parents, educational researchers, and authors make up the ecosystem that shapes my thinking and book. I am grateful to all of you for your influence and voices in this important conversation.

I especially want to thank systems leaders and teachers across the United States and Canada whom I am honored to serve in my consulting work, and my former colleagues and students in Houston, Redwood City, South San Francisco, and Roseland school districts. Our collective work has fueled both my sense of the urgency to write this guide and my clarity about how to shape the contents to realize our shared vision for EL students.

A humble thank you to the many authors and researchers I cite within this work. Keep researching and writing, as I love learning from you. Jeff Zwiers, thank you for influencing my work on conversations, and for your beautiful foreword. Thank you, Zaretta Hammond, for your insightful feedback and collaboration.

Bill Singer, Erin Earnshaw, and Kim Edwards, thank for opening your classroom doors to ongoing co-teaching and photo shoots. Thank you to Erin and her student Ariel Woodson for the exemplar in this text. To my friend Penny Hastings, thank you for helping create beautiful anchor charts.

To all reviewers named on the next pages, thank you for your valuable insights throughout the writing process. Thank you, also, to Venus Cenizal, Kim Nguyen, Ann DuBois, Dr. Marlene Bautista, and Cristina Huizar for your contributions to our focus group at the C.A.B.E. conference.

Thank you Goretti Barragan Hamlin and Angelica Salas, for your feedback on my Spanish dedication. Like many ELs, I especially appreciate peer feedback and encouragement before I take the risk to publish in a second language.

To my editor, Dan Alpert, I appreciate your editorial expertise and your heartfelt presence that always inspires me to be my best self. Thank you to my dream team at Corwin and SAGE: Maura Sullivan, Lucas Schleicher, Scott Van Atta, Mia Rodgriguez, Melinda Mason, and Amy Schroller, for collaborating to bring all the elements of design and content into synthesis. Betsy Lane, thank you for being my go-to copy editor and editing my book proposal, the catalyst for this work!

I appreciate Lisa Tamayo, Deborah Sandweiss, Caroline Hinkle, Taya Hall, Clare Venet, and my community of friends and family for fueling me and helping me find balance. Bill Singer, I am grateful for our shared adventures growing together as multilingual learners, teachers, and parents of our beautiful boys. Alec and Mateo, les amo muchisimo. Thank you for reminding me every day that each student in our schools is precious and unique.
