This book introduces readers to the inner workings of schools that successfully serve multilingual students, especially those who affiliate as Latinx. Readers will meet administrators, teachers, caregivers, and community members who are working together to advance students’ learning. They do this through varied school-wide initiatives that include caring for students in authentic ways, developing students’ home and academic languages, recruiting caregivers and community members to mentor students, establishing positive and respectful climates, providing rigorous instructional interventions, and inviting students to take leadership roles. This book will inspire teachers and school leaders to see the possibilities for humanizing schools with the ultimate goal of creating such environments for all learners, and particularly for students of color.

“A powerful resource for pre- and inservice teachers, educators, school leaders, and researchers who are seeking to change the status quo in today’s schools.”
—From the Foreword by Guofang Li, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver

“This book offers multiple pathways to educational success with children often labeled as ‘at risk.’”
—Luis C. Moll, professor emeritus, University of Arizona

“Readers will find inspiration from the variety of solutions described in this volume, which has transformed education for multilingual students.”
—David and Yvonne Freeman, professors emeriti, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

“The case studies describe how educators have changed their practices to humanize the education that multilingual students receive.”
—Ofelia García, The Graduate Center, CUNY
