Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the present book. In an effort to provide practitioners with guidance on such pedagogical endeavor, this collection examines how the educators of varied academic disciplines (English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies) approach the creation and implementation of curriculum spaces at the intersection of language and content. Our vision for this book was one of theory-based practice wherein descriptions of pedagogical approaches were accompanied by explicit accounts of the authors’ theoretical underpinnings and epistemic/linguistic stance.
