Review
"In many ways, the history of American Education is the history of a quest for equality. �With this must-read book, Dr. Staehr Fenner empowers educators to continue this quest on behalf of students who have too often been relegated to the basement of school buildings, literally and figuratively.� �She lends a human face to the experience of English Learners and encourages us to think in terms of what attributes ELs bring to their learning experience and how others can benefit from their presence in the classroom.�This book is a promising, uplifting, and much-needed call for action!" (Rosa Aronson, Executive Director 2013-04-09)

"This book is a major contribution to the field in that it offers concrete actions administrators, teachers and parents can take to ensure best practices in schools for ELs.� Diane Staehr Fenner demonstrates her extensive school-based experience by providing a highly practical handbook filled with useful models, tools, and professional development activities, all of which are well grounded in an assets-based and shared responsibility theoretical framework.� This volume will meaningfully advance program quality, assessment and instructional practices, and family engagement through well-formulated advocacy initiatives as demanded by current EL teacher education standards. A welcome addition to all who care about the education of ELs PreK-12 and beyond!" (Nancy Cloud, Director, M.Ed. in TESL Program 2013-04-15)

"This book makes a very important contribution to the field by highlighting the importance of advocacy and, through its numerous examples of advocacy in action, showing how�to achieve equitable and excellent education for ELs." (Diane August, Principal 2013-04-22)

"Staehr Fenner delves into the many facets of school-centered advocacy that promote the educational advancement of English language learners. Her thorough treatment of the roles of many stakeholders—including teachers, school leaders, district administrators, and family members—in viewing linguistic and cultural diversity from a strength-based perspective is motivation to read this valuable resource."

(Margo Gottlieb, Director 2013-04-15)

"Diane Staehr Fenner coaches her readers on how to develop a much needed, decisive voice of advocacy. She makes a most compelling case for educators to share the responsibility for teaching English learners within and outside the school. A must read for all teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and policy makers!" (Andrea Honigsfeld, Professor 2013-05-06)

A true treasure trove of answers—whether the reader is a veteran educator of ELs, or someone who is new to the profession and the field, this book will improve practice, no doubt about it!” (Giselle Lundy-Ponce, Associate Director 2013-05-01)

"Just when you thought no one could�hear you�above the din of everyday life as an educator, Diane Staehr Fenner has written a book that demonstrates a broad understanding of the challenges we face. Advocating for English Learners is a great opportunity to engage colleagues in the reflective and collaborative discussions critical to needs assessment and proactive program development to address the needs of some of our most vulnerable citizens and newly arrived immigrant students. This book should be part of every pre-service and in-serivce program for teachers and administrators who serve English learners. The challenge is not what we can do for our students. Our challenge is to create learning environments that recognize and energize the potential of each child and each family to contribute to our communities."
(Anne Marie Foerster Luu, TESOL, International Teacher of the Year, 2013 2013-05-31)

"This is a state-of-the-art, practical, comprehensive resource that will be extremely useful and valuable to practitioners as they advocate to make a positive difference in the lives of English learners and their families." (Teddi Predaris, Director, Office of Language Acquisition and Title I 2013-05-01)

"Diane Staehr Fenner’s practical tips on how to effectively advocate for ELLs will be a valuable resource for schools nationwide. Highly recommended for professional development discussions, district-level planning teams, and pre-service settings." (Lydia Breiseth, Manager 2013-05-01)

"There are a plethora of books that tell teachers and instructional leaders how to best teach ELLs, but the field is in dire need of Advocating for English Learners. Finally, a book that tells us what we need to know before we can get to the work of actual instruction. This book provides�educators with a firm understanding of the social and emotional supports that we must provide in order for our ELLs to maximize their academic potential. Advocating for English Learners goes beyond the classroom--linking our students' realities to the school. It shows us how to use our sphere of influence to provide what might be the missing ingredients for helping our ELLs to learn. This book is a must read for any teacher or administrator who is interested in improving his or her practice and changing the culture of the school to one that embraces all learners." (Esta Montano, Director, English Language Education Special Programs 2013-04-09)

"Diane Staehr Fenner brilliantly outlines English language learner advocacy issues we all need to incorporate into our daily practice as educators to deliver a just and equitable educational experience for all ELL students and their families –one of the most important books for educators and advocates in education to be written." (Lu�s-Gustavo Mart�nez, Lecturer I of Applied Linguistics 2013-05-01)

"It is�common knowledge that English language learners (ELLs) are the fastest growing population in our schools. Most teachers are likely to have one or more ELLs in their classrooms, and yet there�is still so much misunderstanding and confusion about what a quality equitable education represents for ELL students. Staehr Fenner’s work sheds light on what is different about ELL students. She highlights the�importance of Advocacy and Collaboration in order to develop and implement a well-rounded education program for ELLs. And she does so with a refreshing perspective, using clear, real-life examples and providing guidance about how to implement those promising practices and tackle challenges along the way. Staehr Fenner’s work will no doubt dispel the myths and encourage positive changes for ELLs in our schools." (David G. Nieto, Division Administrator 2013-04-25)

"It’s evident from the first pages that Diane Staehr Fenner knows what it’s like to be in a classroom, hallway, or meeting where English language learners and their needs are being overlooked or marginalized. In this essential new book, she gives teachers the framework and the tools we need to advocate effectively and ensure our students�the seat at the table they so deserve. I would recommend this book to anyone who educates ELLs, and since today that is nearly everyone in education, it could not be more timely. �These beautiful, multi-talented children are the future. Thank you, Diane, for helping to make our voices stronger on their behalf." (Barbara Page, ESL Teacher 2013-05-01)

"Wow! This is the first book I have encountered which is devoted solely to the area of advocacy for English language learners (ELLs). In education, where the effects of political and judicial decisions are apparent, this is a very much needed book in guiding future educators and inservice teachers to be strong catalysts in advocating effectively for the academic success of ELLs." (Arlene Costello, 2007 Christa McAuliffe Educator/ Teacher on Special Assignment 2013-04-24)

"In this timely and utterly necessary book, Staehr Fenner explains why all educators need to advocate for English language learners, based in solid yet accessible research, and how to do so with the supporting resources and activities provided. She guides readers in understanding and implementing "scaffolded advocacy," including effective instruction for ELLs. Margins notes included throughout will allow teacher educators to easily use this as a training manual for pre-service and in-service teachers working with ELLs. Finally, the personal anecdotes, stories, and vignettes from the field leave the reader with the crucial message of the book: everyone can and should be an advocate." (Heather A. Linville, TESOL Instructor/ELL Advocate 2013-05-01)

"With Advocating for English Learners: A Guide for Educators, Diane Staehr Fenner closes a gap in teacher education publications.� This much-needed book addresses immigrant realities, teacher experiences, administrator preparation, and Title III policies by using advocacy as the organizing principle.� Based on solid professional foundations and with great insight and skill, Dr. Staehr Fenner provides all stakeholders with tools for a collaboration that works so that linguistically and culturally diverse student population needs can be sufficiently addressed in K-12 contexts and beyond." (Christel Broady, Director 2013-06-11)

“This book provides a much-needed resource for teachers of English language learners (ELLs). Dr. Staehr Fenner shows the importance of advocating for ELLs and preparing teachers to do this work. There is no other book that provides such an emphasis. The personal anecdotes and examples will help teachers connect with issues of advocacy in teacher education programs. This book shows that teachers and administrators can be change agents through their advocacy work for ELLs.” (Dr. Luciana C. de Oliveira, Associate Professor)

Kudos! Aplauso! Way to GO!!
By Debbie
In "Advocating for English Learners", Diane Staehr Fenner has opened new avenues of pedagogical thought about English Learners. By taking principles and processes of advocacy out of the (more familiar) political context, and applying them to the individual educator's classroom, the author has given all teachers the tools to advocate, accommodate, and better educate our growing language learner population.
This text is timely without being faddish, profound without being stodgy, and empathetic without being melodramatic.

A good read, a great study, and a fantastic professional development tool!

Our field is desperate for more than best practices in instruction
By K. L. Keith
Advocating for English Learners is an essential handbook for effective instruction while reducing the gap in achievement between English Learners and their English proficient peers. Our field is desperate for more than best practices in instruction, but best practices in advocacy which must go hand in hand with effective instruction. This books serves as a handbook for handling each and every challenge presented in education today surrounding English Learners while focusing on the tremendous JOY of teaching this inspiring and resilient group of learners. As the director of an English Learner program, I purchased a copy for each of the twenty schools with which I work. It will undoubtedly provide a 2014 research base for the ongoing issues that demand our immediate attention.
