There is a tremendous need for this book. Nationally, 1 in 4 students in public schools is an English Language Learner. This ratio is even greater in urban school districts across the country. So much of the literature about ELL students centers on classroom instruction, but this book addresses what administrative leadership can do to create supportive systems for all students.
