Our global economy needs more and more highly educated, bilingual, and biliterate workers. This makes teachers feel more obligated than ever to provide culturally and linguistically relevant education that meets these needs and speaks to the variety of students today. Sonia Soltero thinks that dual language education is the best way for students from cultural and linguistic backgrounds to do better in school and reach their full social and economic potential. Based on the latest study and theory in the field, Soltero's book Dual Language Education gives a complete picture of what it takes to make well-thought-out, successful, and long-lasting dual language programs. Each chapter looks at the educational and organizational ideas behind dual language education, as well as the specific conditions that must be met for them to work. Short stories from teachers, parents, and school leaders show how dual language education can change things for all kids.

Educating English Learners: What Every Classroom Teacher Needs to Know
In Educating English Learners, Joyce W. Nutta and her colleagues offer practical tools for helping schools and teachers successfully integrate English learners into mainstream classrooms. Drawing on the One Plus model presented in their award-winning book, Preparing Every Teacher to Reach English Learners, the authors now turn their attention to the needs of K–12 teachers who typically have two or three English learners in their classrooms.
English learners are not a homogenous group, and the challenges they face vary tremendously. Nutta and her colleagues present protocols and case studies to help pre-service and in-service teachers understand the needs of English learners in their classrooms and differentiate instruction and assessment accordingly.
Woven throughout the book are the stories of Gero, Edith, Tasir, and Edgar, four case study students of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of English proficiency. The authors show how the protocols they provide can be applied to adapt sample lessons for students like these, across a range of grade levels, subject areas, and pedagogical approaches. Finally, the authors show how the system can be applied school-wide for a collaborative approach to meeting English learners’ needs.

La enseñanza en el aula bilingüe: Content, language, and biliteracy by Mercuri and Musanti with Rodríguez is for teachers who dedicate their work to bilingualism, biliteracy, and equity for bilingual learners. The book is written in Spanish (not translated from English), and it has two major goals for pre-service and practicing teachers:
- Teachers learn how to develop, implement, and monitor interdisciplinary biliteracy units of instruction that they can use in any type of bilingual program—while effectively addressing the diverse needs of simultaneous and sequential bilingual learners from Spanish-speaking homes, bilingual homes, and English-speaking homes.
- Bilingual teachers will have opportunities to leverage their own bilingual resources and cultural funds of knowledge to strengthen their academic Spanish and biliteracy, with a focus on academic reading and writing in Spanish, as they use this book.
- Un marco de planificación interdisciplinaria para cualquier tipo de programa bilingüe de modo de poder abordar eficazmente el desarrollo de la biliteracidad en español e inglés a través de la enseñanza del contenido académico.
- Un enfoque en el aprovechamiento del complejo repertorio lingüístico de los estudiantes bilingües a través de una pedagogía del translenguar.
- Un libro escrito en español que integra un uso fluido y dinámico de ambos lenguajes de modo de valorar y capitalizar el bilingüismo de los lectores.
- Una series de actividades para maestros en formación, maestros en servicio en español, y para administradores en inglés que les permiten reflexionar y aplicar las ideas de cada capítulo.
