Promoting Science Literacy with English Language Learners Through Instructional Materials Development
In spite of reform efforts, opportunities for all students to learn science remain illusive. Recent studies indicate that science curricula do not meet students' learning needs. Research-based curricula focusing on science inquiry with English language learners (ELLs) have yet to be developed. To encourage development of appropriate science materials, this paper discusses the learning needs of specific groups of ELLs and their teachers. First, we…
Teachers' Roles in Promoting Science Inquiry with Students from Diverse Language Backgrounds
At the beginning of the year, I had all the students work in small groups to do activities because in my science methods class, I had been taught to set up groups like that to promote inquiry. When students worked in little groups, neither they nor I really knew what they were doing. As the year progressed, I could see the students learned better when we did things together as a whole group. I know how to help them focus and learn when we are all…

Development of a knowledge base for Esol teacher education
Science for All, including Students from Non-English-Language Backgrounds
Standards-based reform across subject areas has an overarching goal of achieving high academic standards for all students. Although much is known about what constitutes high academic standards, little attention has been given to the attainment of educational equity for all students. In this article, we propose the notion of instructional congruence as a way of making academic content accessible, meaningful, and relevant for diverse learners. Alth…
Teachers' voices in program evaluation and improvement
In spite of the many ways that schools have changed to accommodate students not yet proficient in English, obstacles still exist that limit students' opportunities to receive adequate instruction. This paper describes the role of evaluation in developing a program to prepare Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). The teachers' voices presented in this paper suggest the importance of considering their contributions in refining…
Spanish as an Economic Resource in Metropolitan Miami
This article is a case study of Miami as a linguistic marketplace; its purpose is to inform educational policymakers of the economic and cultural advantage of developing a multilingual workforce. The growth of Metro-Miami’s Spanish language economy is a result of recent demographics and increased international trade and commerce. Although global education and proficiency in languages in addition to English have been recognized as essential in pre…

Science for All
Scientific and technological literacy are important learning outcomes the nation has committed to develop in order to maintain a globally competitive economy. Students who bring to school diverse languages and cultures provide a rich resource of experiences on which to develop a scientifically literate work force. Unfortunately, in spite of the national commitment to “science for all,” the process of promoting scientific literacy has not yet been…
