Chapter 4: Do You Hear Us?: Supporting Teachers of Language-Diverse Students in Communities of Practice

This book chapter applies Wenger-Trayner’s communities of practice concept to empower educators in enhancing pedagogy to support language-minori-tized and linguistically diverse learners. By transforming professional learning into meaningful interactions, communities of practice enable educators to exchange information, enhance their professional skills, and effectively meet students’ needs in classrooms and schools through self-efficacy, educational equity, and transformative learning.
