The United States has a long record of ambivalence toward recent immigrants. Nowhere is this love-hate relationship more evident than in the public school systems of high-immigration states like California, where pro- and anti-immigration advocates have waged a long-running battle over “bilingual” education versus “English immersion” programs. Unfortunately, this fierce political debate does not always acknowledge day-to-day reality in the schools, and the policies that result may ultimately hinder the schools and students they intend to help. Beyond Bilingual Education cuts through the politics, offering a statistical portrait of English language learners in five large California school districts and highlighting the results of more than 120 interviews conducted with teachers, school administrators, and community service providers about the challenges facing recent immigrants and the schools that serve them. This combined approach yields essential intelligence for policymakers, advocates, and administrators seeking to escape the trap of immigration politics. It is a vital perspective, because how our schools receive, treat, and educate these future workers will directly affect our country’s economic and social health and progress.

This timely volume explores how one Hispanic-Serving Institution reimagined and transformed its teacher preparation program. Tracing the transformative journey through innovative curricular, pedagogical, and programmatic changes, the authors outline a new template of best practices for preparing teachers in collaboration with diverse communities. Each chapter is grounded in the program's culturally efficacious conceptual framework and uses a social justice theoretical lens to highlight the various aspects of this transformation. The contributors detail the impetus for reform that led to innovation, provide an in-depth examination of their implementation process, and offer evidence-based recommendations to inform other teacher preparation programs nationwide. Collectively, the chapters will inform other programs in HSIs, MSIs, and institutions serving diverse candidates, partnering with schools, and collaborating with communities.Essential reading for teacher educators, researchers, graduate students, and all those interested in the field of teacher education.

Este nuevo "Morir no es poco II. Estudios sobre la muerte y los cementerios desde la Post Pandemia" revela la presencia de tópicos nuevos en torno a la muerte que no se evidenciaban en el volumen del 2018. La pandemia se torna insoslayable, pero esta parábola histórica que transitamos ¿habrá sido un refugio? El estudio de los pequeños objetos personales, documentos, fuentes, panteones, placas, carteles, como mediadores emocionales ante la muerte, la recuperación de historias de vida desde la muerte, los discursos, relatos y simbología que se manifiestan en placas recordatorias, la presencia la política de la memoria para evocar justas reivindicaciones territoriales pero también a los miles de muertos que dejó la Guerra de Malvinas, son la evidencia de que el estudio de la muerte y los cementerios encuentra múltiples y variados enfoques desde donde ser abordados. El peso de este libro recae en la perspectiva histórica aun cuando no haya sido nuestra primera intencionalidad. Volver al pasado fue una decisión de quienes integran el libro que provienen de distintas disciplinas, formaciones, universidades e instituto. Los trabajos cubren gran parte de nuestro territorio desde diferentes provincias dándole al libro un carácter federal. Esperamos en el futuro seguir sumando a nuestra Red Académica a colegas de las Ciencias Sociales que aporten sus investigaciones sobre el gran enigma de la muerte y la forma de tramitarla de los que quedan.
