Teaching Science with Hispanic Ells in K-16 Classrooms (PB)

A volume in Research in Science Education
Series Editors Dennis W. Sunal, University of Alabama
and Emmett L. Wright, Kansas State University
The goal of this fourth volume of RISE was to provide a research foundation that demonstrates
an agenda to strengthen the preparation and enhancement of teachers of science
for regions and states experiencing extensive initial growth of Hispanic ELLs in schools.
The goal was carried out through a series of events that led to the planning and subsequent
dissemination of research being conducted by various stakeholders throughout the United States. Researchers were
first invited from regions of the country that have had a long history of with Hispanic ELLs in classrooms as well as those
regions where initial and now extensive growth has occurred only in the past few years. A national conference Science
Teacher Education for Hispanic English Language Learners in the Southeast (SHELLS) funded through the National Science
Foundation was used as one of the dissemination methods to establish and secure commitments from researchers to a
conduct and report research to strengthen teacher preparation for science. The national call for manuscripts requested the
inclusion of major priorities and critical research areas, methodological concerns, and concerns and results of implementation
of teacher preparation and development programs.
