This book responds to the challenges raised by Asa Hilliard a generation ago: Do we have the will to educate all children? In this third volume of the Breaking the Mold series, editors Honigsfeld and Cohan provide compelling will and skill insights from students, parents, and all sectors of the community who are improving and transforming education for our culturally and linguistically diverse students. When you finish the preface to this book you will want to continue reading the rich compilation of narratives important to you as a teacher, student, researcher, professor, policy maker, parent/guardian, and/or community member.

Social justice and equity issues with regard to our increasingly diverse student populations globally remain at the forefront of educational discourse. Multicultural change is upon us in these exciting and challenging times, and has been shaping the worldwide educational system for decades. In this volume, Honigsfeld and Cohan present stories of real educators who are crafting a vision that makes a difference for their students. It is in these stories that real solutions for educators are presented that will offer hope in our quest to create classrooms and schools that are innovative and responsive to all learners. Well done!

The authors and editors skillfully address the question, who is school for? Their answer is persuasive but even more important, they provide ideas for ensuring that schools are inclusive and responsive to the diverse needs of learners. This book is packed with actionable examples for welcoming all students to school.

Breaking the Mold of Education for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students: Innovative and Successful Practices for the 21st Century is a unique collection of studies that describe successful practices used in working with culturally and linguistically diverse populations within the United States and abroad….This book should be a cornerstone to understanding the myriad practices available to serve culturally and linguistically diverse student populations. This book would allow teachers to see the span of approaches, the breadth of populations, and the proven approaches available when working with culturally and linguistically diverse students. Teacher pre-service and in-service preparation programs should make this book required reading to better prepare all teachers for the student population of today’s classrooms.
