Biography
Michelle D. Devereaux is Assistant Professor of English and English Education, Kennesaw State University, USA.
"This book introduces current and future teachers of secondary English to a revolutionary and linguistically sound approach to addressing dialect diversity in their classrooms, complete with detailed lesson plans and clear explanation of how the material fits the Common Core State Standards."
Michael Shepherd, California State University, Fresno, USA
"Devereaux conveys linguistically informed ideas about language in the classroom via practical, classroom-tested unit plans and lessons. She does more than pay lip service to language variation by demonstrating how language cannot and should not be moralized, revealing ways to empower students—not only linguistically but also academically and socially— and to truly celebrate linguistic diversity. With a foot in both the high school classroom and the university classroom, the author provides clear background information on language ideologies; by clearly explaining and situating these concepts, this book promises to transform how teachers approach language in our classrooms."
Kristin Denham, Western Washington University, USA
