Synopsis: Making Math Accessible for English Language Learners provides practical classroom tips and suggestions to strengthen the quality of classroom instruction for teachers. The tips and suggestions are based on research in practices and strategies that address the affective, linguistic, and cognitive needs of English language learners. Although the book centers on teaching English language learners, many of the tips and suggestions benefit all students. The text follows four case studies of composite student profiles throughout the book with opportunities for reflection to increase personal awareness of both the teacher's role and students' needs in the mathematics classroom, tasks to provide interaction with the content of the book, and hot tips for ideas in real-world situations.
