"Closing the Achievement Gap", August 22, 2002

By Josefina Y. Moreno, Newcomer Teacher and grad... - August 21, 2002

This book, "Closing the Achievement Gap: How to Reach Limited-Formal-Schooling and Long Term English Learners", is an excellent resource for teachers of older English learners with limited formal schooling or English learners with more conversational than academic fluency. Yvonne S. Freeman and David E.

By Rochelle Robinson "Rochelle" - May 12, 2007

The content of this book is not the problem, it is its poor organizational structure.

It's like having a simple base beat up too loud and dragging on throughout a whole album. They could have summed up the content of this book in 2-3 short articles with greater success. The content, however, was helpful!
