Abstract:

Leadership takes on a tone of urgency when we are struggling for justice. At
the same time, the right to lead – the agency to embrace a leadership identity
– can also feel more distant when we are marginalized by the dominant society.
For bilingual education teachers working with immigrant communities, the
development of critical consciousness, pride in the cultural and linguistic
resources of the bilingual community, the vocabulary to name and face
marginalization, and a strong professional network are fundamental to their
development of professional identities as leaders and advocates. Based on the
experiences of 53 Spanish-English bilingual teachers in Central Texas, this
book aims to explore, define, and understand bilingual teacher leadership. It
merges the themes of leadership, teacher preparation and bilingual education
and is essential reading for bilingual or ESL teachers, teacher educators and
researchers serving an increasingly transnational/translingual student body.
