In Part II are assessments in reading, writing, and math - featuring class tested scoring rubrics and samples of student work.

Based in case studies conducted in the US, Europe, and Latin America, this book explores the feasibility and benefits of trilingual/ multilingual education in the United States. Currently, there are few programs in the country of this nature, as educators tend to conclude that English-language learners would be overwhelmed by study in additional languages. Henn-Reinke builds an argument supporting trilingual education in the US, discussing issues of identity, curriculum, pedagogy, and the impact of other psycho-socio-linguistic factors.
Let every voice be heard! Developing Voice Through the Language Arts shows prospective teachers how to use the language arts to connect diverse students to the world around them and help them develop their own literate voices. This book considers the integrated nature of the primary language arts - reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and visually representing. Authors Kathryn Henn-Reinke and Geralyn A. Chesner encourage preservice and inservice teachers to take a reflective, balanced approach in preparing to teach language arts.
