Classroom strategies for planning, teaching, assessing, and extending learning 3. How to design lessons and model lessons for K—12 students 4. Context and research, including an overview of science and English as a second language standards; instructional practices; and ways to integrate science, language, and literacy Each of the 10 chapters is coauthored by experienced science and language educators who coordinate their approaches to teaching English language learners.
