Title overview

Sheltered Content Instruction: Teaching English Learners with Diverse Abilities is a complete guide to the sheltered instruction approach. It gives you the means to think about your own educational practices and the issues you should consider when teaching English learners, especially those struggling academically. A classic in the field, the book defines sheltered instruction, or Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE), and presents strategies for its successful implementation in K-12 classrooms.

The 5th Edition includes recent research, best practices, and policies that impact the education of English learners. New features such as end-of-chapter Activities and Your Turn help readers apply the chapter concepts to their practices.
