The Cross-Cultural Language and Academic Development Handbook: A Complete K-12 Reference Guide (3rd Edition)

The third edition of this popular handbook brings together theories, ideas, and resources for promoting crosscultural awareness, language development, and academic progress for English learners. It ties together culture and language in a comprehensive format and delves deeply into the educational challenges faced by classroom teachers. Written specifically for the mainstream teacher, the guide clearly shows the effects of cultural differences on learning and presents an excellent treatment of cultural diversity and learning styles. It comes at a time when more than two million students nationwide with limited English proficiency fill our classrooms -- a time when today's teachers desperately need practical, effective resources to help these students succeed in school. more

Very helpful to past the CTEL exam!

This book helped me pass the first two sections of the CTEL test, and am waiting for the results of the third section but feel very confident. The book is a bit dry, but very helpful!

The Crosscultural Language and Academic Development Handbook: A Complete K-12 Reference Guide (3rd Edition)

This book is good if you need to pass the CLAD for California requirements. IF possible take a Clad/ELA class from a university and avoid the exams. The exams are difficult to prepare for.....Especially part three. Taking a class from a university better prepares you for the classroom than any...

Reviewing for CTEL exams...

maybe the only book out there for reviewing for the CTel/CLAD exams. Not organized for easy organized learning but not too bad. I haven't heard the results of the exams yet...

Glad I bought this before taking the CTEL exam

I just took the CTEL exam today, and I sure am glad that I didn't take it before reading this book. Most of the information over which we were tested was explained in the book. Along with the flashcards, I think this is a wise investment.
