To meet the needs of the fast growing numbers
of Latino/a English learners, this volume presents an approach to secondary
education teacher preparation based on the work of the National Latino/a
Education Research and Policy Project (NLERAP). Renowned scholar and educator
Angela Valenzuela, together with an impressive roster of contributors, provides
a critical framework for educating culturally responsive teachers. They examine
the knowledge, skills, and predisposition required for higher education
institutions to create curricula for educating Latino/a children, children of
color, and language minority youth. Growing Critically Conscious
Teachers illuminates why growing our own teachers makes sense as an
approach for not only addressing the achievement gap, but for also enhancing
the well-being of our communities as a whole.
