This textbook equips pre-service educators with the tools they need to empower multilingual learners, their families, and communities; promote educational equity; and advocate for the rights of multilingual learners in increasingly complex socio-political settings. Featuring contributions from researchers, in-service teachers, pre-service teachers, and community leaders, the book offers expansive and diverse perspectives on the challenges and solutions related to multilingual learners in a myriad of educational contexts and environments. The book goes beyond traditional classroom strategies to cultivate all participants’ active agency and incorporate advocacy for both teachers and multilingual learner students, exploring the intricate connections between praxis and community engagement in a comprehensive way. Addressing a wide array of increasingly common challenges, this thoughtful resource is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in teacher education and educational leadership preparation programs, as well as teacher researchers and school administrators.
