This book is the first and only comprehensive guide for administrators
building ESL programs. The guide provides insight into the development,
administration, and evaluation of programs for ESOL students. It
stresses the importance of facilitating policy decisions and creating a
solid infrastructure for quality programming. The variety of integrated
perspectives presented enables administrators to better make valid,
grounded decisions related to the education of their increasing numbers
of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students.
