Child Growth and Development
Paris, Ricardo, Rymond and Johnson · College of the Canyons
This text is a presentation of how and why children grow, develop, and learn. We will look at how we change physically over time from conception through adolescence. We examine cognitive change, or how our ability to think and remember changes over the first 20 years or so of life. And we will look at how our emotions, psychological state, and social relationships change throughout childhood and adolescence.

Inclusion, Education and Translanguaging
Julie A. Panagiotopoulou, Lisa Rosen, and Jenna Strzykala Eds. · LibreTexts
The idea for this text came about when we visited Ofelia García in New York in the fall of 2017 to observe and experience translanguaging live—in a mathematics lesson at a bilingual primary school in Queens—during a research visit. This was a special event for us because we had by then been dealing with the concept for years and were constantly confronted with the standard question of how translanguaging can be put into practice in the context of teacher education, congresses and conferences.
