Lessons from a Dual Language Bilingual School
This edited book showcases the lessons, successes and challenges of starting and growing a fully bilingual school. Reflecting on the first 10 years of Dos Puentes Elementary School in New York City, it explores the evolution of the school through its four founding pillars: (1) bilingüismo, biliteracidad y multiculturalismo, (2) las familias son partners, leaders and advocates, (3) investigaciones and hands-on learning, and (4) partnerships with universities, organizations y la comunidad. The chapter authors include families, teachers, school administrators and university partners, centering the voices of those directly involved in the school community and highlighting key moments in the life of the school. At the end of each chapter, researcher commentary contextualizes these experiences within the wider literature and discusses implications and next steps for the field of bilingual education. This book will be of interest to pre- and in-service teachers and school administrators, particularly those looking to develop bilingual programs in their own context.

Translanguaging and Transformative Teaching for Emergent Bilingual Students
A critical and accessible text, this book provides a foundation for translanguaging theory and practice with educating emergent bilingual students. The product of the internationally renowned and trailblazing City University of New York-New York State Initiative on Emergent Bilinguals (CUNY-NYSIEB), this book draws on a common vision of translanguaging to present different perspectives of its practice and outcomes in real schools. It tells the story of the collaborative project’s positive impact on instruction and assessment in different contexts, and explores the potential for transformation in teacher education. Acknowledging oppressive traditions and obstacles facing language minoritized students, this book provides a pathway for combatting racism, monolingualism, classism and colonialism in the classroom and offers narratives, strategies and pedagogical practices to liberate and engage emergent bilingual students. This book is an essential text for all teacher educators, researchers, scholars, and students in TESOL and bilingual education, as well as educators working with language minoritized students.
Living, Learning, and Languaging Across Borders
Addressing the roles of education, language, and identity in cyclical migration, this book highlights the voices and experiences of transborder students in Mexico who were born or raised in the US. The stories develop a portrait of the lived realities, joys, and challenges that young people face across elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels. The book not only discusses migration and education policies and pedagogies grounded in the fluid lives of these young people, but its photography also presents their experiences in a visual dimension that words alone cannot capture. This in-depth, multimodal study examines the interplay of language, power, and schooling as they affect students and t...

Experta en el arte de preguntar, Mercedes Ruiz activa la memoria y los recuerdos de Angelo y él, mezclando en su discurso palabras en inglés y en español, nos narra también su vida cotidiana, los festejos, sus temores, formas de manutención, sentimientos y emociones, otorgando signi cado a su vida y a sus relaciones. Se trata de una serie de entrevistas a profundidad que Ruiz Muñoz realizó en la Ciudad de Nueva York, entre septiembre y noviembre de 2018, en las que narra y da testimonio de la vida y de la trayectoria escolar de Angelo Cabrera, de cómo él las vivió, las comprende hoy, las signica y las expresa. En el relato de Angelo la educación ocupa un lugar fundamental, una lucha y un sueño personal, convencido de que ésta es un derecho humano y un “pasaporte para ir a otros lugares”.
