"The book focuses on how K-12 teachers of multilingual students can use these core practices in ways that humanize their practice - positioning students as whole human beings, valuing the assets and resources they bring to the classroom, actively involving students in rigorous instruction that draws on their experiences and knowledge, responding to each unique context, and disrupting traditional power dynamics - ultimately engaging in their work in ways that center equity and justice. The aim of this text is for teachers of multilingual students to understand how to move humanizing mindsets to action"--
