Teaching Emergent Bilingual Students with Dis/AbilitiesHumanizing Pedagogies to Engage Learners and Eliminate Labels\nAuthor(s): Patricia Martinez-lvarez\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Teachers' College Press, United States\nImprint: Teachers' College Press\nISBN-13: 9780807768105, 978-0807768105\nSynopsis\nGrounded in authentic teaching and learning experiences, this book shows elementary school educators how to create spaces that more respectfully and humanely address the needs of emergent bilinguals with disabilities. While the fields of bilingual education and disability studies have been traditionally kept separate, Martnez-lvarez argues that many of the constructs researchers and educators employ in their respective fields can be combined to improve instruction. This book establishes a dialogue among important constructs such as issues of assimilation and ableism, and the expansion of identity, agency, and humanistic pedagogies. It then looks at how these constructs can be used.
