This landmark volume responds to the call to attend to the
unfinished pedagogical business of the NCTE Conference on College
Composition and Communication 1974 Students’ Right to Their Own
Language resolution. Chronicling the interplay between
legislated/litigated education policies and language and literacy
teaching in diverse classrooms, it presents exemplary
research-based practices that maximize students' learning by
utilizing their home-based cultural, language, and literacy
practices to help them meet school expectations.

Pre-service teachers, practicing teachers, and teacher educators
need both resources and knowledge, including global perspectives,
about language variation in PreK-12 classrooms and hands-on
strategies that enable teachers to promote students’ use of their
own language in the classroom while also addressing mandated
content and performance standards. This book meets that need.
