Culturally Efficacious Mathematics and Science Teacher Preparation for Working with English Learners
Authors: Flores Belinda Bustos, Claeys Lorena, Gist Conra D., Clark Ellen Riojas, Villarreal Abelardo
The authors argue that mathematics and science teachers must be culturally efficacious and engage in responsive practices to work effectively with English learners (ELs). They claim that the design of teacher preparation programs plays an integral role in the efficacy development of the teacher. The findings reveal that program and school-context experiences work in tandem to support mathematics and science teachers’ efficacy in working with ELs. The qualitative evidence indicates that these secondary mathematics and science teachers are supported through Accelerated Teacher Education Program (ATEP) to become culturally efficacious. Specifically, for mathematics and science teachers working with ELs, ATEP program sources of efficacy include the cohort model–community of practice.

Teacher Academy Induction Learning Community: Guiding Teachers Through Their Zone of Proximal Development
Authors: Flores Belinda Bustos, Hernández Arcelia, Garcia Claudia Trevino, Claeys Lorena
This article aims to examine the effectiveness of the induction support provided to teacher candidates/interns as they transition into the teaching profession. This case study is an analysis of the Academy for Teacher Excellence’s (ATE) support provided by the Teacher Academy Induction Learning Community (TAILC). The authors contend that the induction program presented can serve not only to support the retention of Latino teacher candidates, but can be used as a model to support other candidates working with diverse populations. The authors conclude that effective teacher induction support assists novice teachers through their zone of proximal development in becoming members of a community of practice.
