The
Students Transforming School documentary portrays a model high school
program designed to promote academic success among linguistic/cultural
minorities. Through classroom images and curriculum products teachers
depict how students in the Studies of Heritage and Academic Languages
and Literacies (SHALL) project experience heritage languages as resources;
develop Academic English language and literacy abilities; and become
active agents of change in their communities. This DVD offers teacher
educators, administrators, and secondary school instructors an informative
and inspirational illustration of the most up to date theoretical and
practical approaches to transformative education. As companion texts
to Students Transforming School see downloadable book chapters by Davis
et.al. below. (Running Time - 30 minutes)
