Chapters, each representing a case study of policy-making in the state, include: • an overview and background of the English-only movement, the genesis of Structured English Immersion (SEI), and current status of language policy in Arizona; • an in-depth review of the Flores case presented by its lead lawyer; • a look at early Proposition 203 implementation in the context of broader educational 'reform' efforts; • examples of how early state-wide mandates impacted teacher professional development; • a presentation of how new university-level teacher preparation curricula misaligns with commonly-held beliefs about what teachers of language minority students should know and understand; • an exploration of principals' concerns about enforcing top-down policies for SEI implementation; • an investigation of what SEI policy looks like in today's classrooms and whether it constitutes equity; • and finally, a discussion of what the various cases mean for the education of English learners in the state UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781783091959 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781783091959 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781783091959/original ER -
