Synopsis
This book focuses on arts-based classroom practices that can be used to support English Language Learners. Recognizing that all children learn differently, but that the needs of children learning a new language are particularly unique, each chapter offers innovative in which arts-based methods can support learning across content areas. This book also recognizes the intersectionality of language and socio-economic status that exists for many ELLs. Framing knowledge of two languages as an asset for children who otherwise may come from low resource contexts is an important feature of these chapters.
This edited book offers resources and practical suggestions from teachers who have successfully integrated the arts into their curriculum. It is a useful resource for classroom teachers and other practioners who work with ELL learners from K-12. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
In many ways, this book is a well-timed revolution. It is an antidote to an era when test scores are prioritized over robust education, when schools are stealing from the most marginalized students access to arts education. If discussions about benefits of the arts for English Language Learners isn't enough, the on-the-ground activities for bolstering, not just student learning, but also student engagement are invaluable. Every teacher of English Language Learners should read this book. -- Paul C. Gorski, associate professor of Social Justice and Human Rights at George Mason University and founder of EdChange Using Photography and Other Arts-Based Methods With English Language Learners is an interesting and inspiring book that introduces highly engaging instructional strategies and logical, clear research to classroom teachers so they can strengthen and enhance the learning of non-native English speakers (and all their students). Throughout the book, the authors share ideas and examples of how ELL students have been empowered to be creative problem solvers and encouraged to take active roles in their learning with rich "hands-on, minds-on" experiences. Each chapter explains the "whys and hows" of supporting ELL students as well as the benefits (academically and social/emotionally) of encouraging a safe, secure community of learners so all students can participate and grow.
