Presents an examination of the development, evolution, and current realities of educating emergent bilinguals in US classrooms. The text begins by showing how the authors evolved from monolingual language educators to translanguaging educators and ends with concrete takeaways for successfully using an inclusive translanguaging approach.

Focuses on the contribution that visual art, drama, music, and dance can make to student literacy and understanding of content-area reading assignments. Focusing on those areas where students tend to struggle, the author helps K-5 teachers provide an age-appropriate curriculum that is accessible to an increasingly diverse student population.
