Secondary English language arts educators narrate their own experiences and provide insights by reflecting on aspects of everyday pedagogy. Featuring a rich array of texts designed to be both familiar and unfamiliar to the reader, the authors explore complex issues raised by a diverse body of writers, while simultaneously sharing methods that engage students to think critically. Topics include how students' learning is influenced by their identities; the importance of building relationships; creating a balanced curriculum; developing cultural responsivity and cultural sustainability; confronting (dis)comfort zonesadapting to different educational contexts; and considering how the COVID-19 pandemic changed teaching. This teacher-friendly resource illustrates how reflective practitioners are assisted in their goal of teaching literacy skills while encompassing issues of social justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple examples of classroom activities for the secondary ELA classroom. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUser-friendly text boxes highlighting points of interest.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuestions at the end of each chapter to help readers reflect on their own practices.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed appendices featuring recommended books and practical resources.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSarah Bickens\u003c\/strong\u003e is an English teacher at Talent Unlimited High School, New York, NY. \u003cstrong\u003eFrances Bittman\u003c\/strong\u003e is an English teacher at Greenwich High School, Greenwich, CT. \u003cstrong\u003eDavid J. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnor\u003c\/strong\u003e is professor emeritus at Hunter College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6.26 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 22, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727316652095,"sku":"9780807768440","price":88.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/58430009a6b2f561a0de6895b4d3d135.webp?v=1765114361","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/embracing-diversity-teachers-everyday-practices-in-secondary-english-language-arts-classrooms-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
