Biography
Maria Estela Brisk
"The particular and much-needed focus of this volume is language diversity.... It takes on this previously un-emphasized and un-studied problem in teacher education, raising thoughtful questions and offering trenchant analyses.... Now more than ever, those who are committed to teacher education practice, research, and policy that includes language diversity need to understand and be strategic about the complex circumstances that threaten these agendas. This volume is a big step in the right direction."--—Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Boston College
