So teachers' greatest resources, argues Steven Alvarez, are the students themselves, with both a facility in their home language and ties to their home communities. After-school programs focused on English learners, Alvarez suggests, offer a way for parents, teachers, and volunteers to come together to navigate school systems and the English language, share stories, and work to develop facility in reading and writing across languages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommunity Literacies en Confianza: Learning from Bilingual After-School Programs\u003c\/i\u003e directly addresses teachers who are learning about emergent bilingual students. Alvarez offers ideas for approaching, engaging, and partnering with students' communities to design culturally sustaining pedagogies that productively use the literacy abilities students bring to schools. Drawing on the \u003ci\u003eNCTE Position Paper on the Role of English Teachers in Educating English Language Learners\u003c\/i\u003e (ELLs), Alvarez highlights the importance of building mutual trust, or confianza, between students, schools, and communities, both inside and outside of the classroom. Our students have as much to teach us as we have to teach them, as long as we're open to their experiences and stories as we learn and grow together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 107\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.4 x 9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 21, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47220551549177,"sku":"9780814107867","price":38.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/aHMvWHU1aC9neWRhVUF2T2k0ek16Zz09.webp?v=1768180468","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/community-literacies-en-confianza-learning-from-bilingual-after-school-programs-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
