The Power of Learning from Inquiry Teacher Research as a Professional Development Tool in Multilingual Schools

A New Book in the Adult Education Special Topics: Theory, Research and Practice in LifeLong Learning by Aida A Nevárez-La Torre, TESOL Program, Fordham University

I am very pleased to announce that we have a new release in the adult education series at Information Age Publishing: The Power of Learning from Inquiry Teacher Research as a Professional Development Tool in Multilingual Schools by Dr. Aida A Nevárez-La Torre of Fordham University.Power of learning (Image) Dr. Nevárez-La Torre is director of the TESOL and Bilingual programs at Fordham's Graduate School of Education and has extraordinary experience as a researcher and practitioner in the field. This book is truly a one of a kind human interest, life transformation and professional development research book rolled up into one compelling volume. Last week iwas describing to some of my graduate students as a powerful demonstration of how working alongside of educators/faculty and guiding them to explore action resaerch, providing a safe space for questioning assumptions, can lead to radical transforamtion. That this book reveals that storeis- in the particiapting teachers voices- how they came to the awakening, and grew to recognize and resist the oppression which they had been silenced previously. Biligual and TESOL educators are often even MORE overlooked in k-12 systems than adult edcutoars (hard for us to belive it ispossible, but it is true. There are many reaons for this basis and oppression- not only do they serve new immigrants, ELL learners, but they may also be ELL or immigrants. The end result is that may schools do not even attempt ot hide the fact that few resources, recogniztion or concern are exercisesd towards these students, teachers or resources. ]]> http://transformationed.com/2010/02/power-of-learning-from-inquiry/feed/ 0
