Breaking Down the Wall

Round 22.0 of #EllChat_BkClub will kick of November 16th with:

As soon as I heard about this collaboration between many of our beloved #EllChat_BkClub authors, I knew we had to read it! I've been waiting patiently for months and I am so happy to finally have my hands on it. Special thanks to Corwin Press for generously sending me a review copy!

Politically, the title of this book feels timely. Educationally, the content of this book is needed. 

The book is organized into 9 essential "shifts" for English learner success that showcase the expertise and wisdom of so many esteemed leaders in our field. 

Check out this ROCKSTAR lineup!
