• The Bilingual/ESL Programs and Practices Case:
A Video Ethnography of Educational Alternatives for Second Language Learners
Annela Teemant (2003)
This video ethnography captures a typical day of instruction in six
different classrooms serving second language students. Although there
is great variety in how programs are defined and implemented, this case
highlights ESL, bilingual, and mainstream program models in both an elementary
and secondary setting. In addition, it presents the Five Standards for
Effective Pedagogy, developed by CREDE, as the core set of practices used
consistently in classrooms where successful learning takes place for all
students, especially bilingual and bicultural students. This case invites
you to use these representations of programs and literature on effective
practices to reconsider programs and practices in your own schools.
$25
• The Adolescent Literacy Case: A
Video Ethnography of Teaching Second Language Students Content Through
Literacy Development
Stefinee Pinnegar, Annela Teemant & Carl Harris (2003)
The case highlights teachers of English, science, social science, and
mathematics who attend to literacy to promote greater academic achievement
in their disciplines. These five different teachers demonstrate how secondary
teachers can position students to become fully literate in comprehending
and producing content-area texts. The students in these classrooms are
either native English or non-native English speaking secondary students.
$25
• The Second Language Literacy Case:
A Video Ethnography of Bilingual Students'
Literacy Development
Annela Teemant, Stefinee Pinnegar & Ray Graham (2003)
This case allows mainstream teachers to see and hear the accounts of nine
diverse second language learners, their teachers, and families. The case
has seven studies, exploring who second language readers and writers are,
their experiences in and outside of school as well as their efforts to
learn English. This case also allows educators to see, hear, and read
the research, ideas, concerns, and perspectives of more than 50 national
and international experts. For example, in Studies Three and Four, national
experts talk about the cognitive, social, affective, and linguistic needs
of language learners as well as reading, writing, vocabulary and genre.
The four CD-ROM set covers seven studies:
Study One: Literacy needs
Study Two: Who Am I As a Reader and Writer
Study Three: Elementary
Study Four: Secondary
Study Five: Rationale for Collaboration
Study Six: Current Realities
Study Seven: Content-Area Literacy

• The Early Childhood Literacy Case:
A Video Ethnography of Balanced Literacy
Approaches for Second Language Students
Stefinee Pinnegar, Annela Teemant & Serena Tyra
The Early Childhood Literacy Case examines how five different teachers
promote the literacy development of second language learners in pre-school
and early elementary classrooms. Across the case, a range of balanced
literacy practices is represented from word level skills to more holistic
approaches to literacy development. A single set of second language literacy
concepts is used to explore each unique study of practice.
This case encourages users to consider literacy practices for second language
learners and reconsider literacy practices from teacher, student, first
language, second language, and pedagogy perspectives. Michael Kamil and
Elizabeth Bernhardt from Stanford University are featured commentators.
$25
• The Lucia Villarreal Case: A Video
Ethnography of Literacy Practices in a
Bilingual Classroom
Stefinee Pinnegar, Annela Teemant & Carl Harris
This case focuses on the literacy practices of a first grade teacher in
a bilingual setting. Each study in this case highlights one of the five
Standards for Effective Pedagogy being addressed in the language arts
context. Perspectives on the teaching practices are given by the teacher,
students, a first language educator, a second language educator, and teacher
educators.
$25
• The Craig Cleveland Case: A
Video Ethnography of Mexican American History in a Spanish/English Bilingual
Classroom
by Stefinee Pinnegar, Annela Teemant, Roland Tharp, and Carl Harris (2001)
This case focuses on a high school social studies unit on Mexican American
history in a bilingual classroom. Students select three out of nine possible
"invitations" (folders with newspaper articles, poetry, political
cartoons, or books) that interest them to investigate and respond to.
Each study in this case highlights one of the five Standards for Effective
Pedagogy. Perspectives on the teaching practices are given by the teacher,
students, a social studies educator, a second language educator, and teacher
educators.
$25
• The Mara Mills Case: A
Video Ethnography of Biological Science in a Sheltered English Classroom
by Annela Teemant, Stefinee Pinnegar, Roland Tharp, and Carl Harris (2001)
This case focuses on a two-day high school multi-grade lesson in ecological
science, featuring complex organization of instruction: multiple simultaneous
activities, collaborative work, teacher assistance, classroom community
building, and performance. Each study in this case highlights one of the
five Standards for Effective Pedagogy. Perspectives on the teaching practices
are given by the teacher, students, a science educator, a second language
educator, and teacher educators.

• The Sheri Galarza Pre-School Case:
A Video Ethnography of Developmentally Appropriate Teaching of Language
and Literacy
by Roland Tharp, Sue Entz, and Sheri Galarza (2001)
This case focuses on a pre-school classroom for young children of mixed
language codes, primarily Hawaiian Creole. The classroom is developmentally
appropriate, pedagogically sound, and technologically infused. Each of
the five studies of the Standards for Effective Pedagogy is illustrated
in a different activity center, such as the Block Center, Dramatic Play
Center, Garden Center or Reading Center. Sheri Galarza's instructional
goals are broad, but united by a focus on developing skills in language,
pre-reading, writing and socio-emotional development. Perspectives on
the teaching practices are given by the teacher, students, an early childhood
educator and teacher educators.

• The Julene Kendall Case: A Video
Ethnography of Teaching in an Elementary English as a Second Language
(ESL)
In this video ethnography a master teacher, Julene Kendell, works
with 3rd and 4th grade ESL students in a lesson that focuses on learning
English as a second language using the Little Red Hen fable. Students
in this pullout class originate from China, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Korea,
and Argentina. In the Study Explorer part of the program we examine Julene’’s
lesson as studies of Building Sense of Community, Visual Cues, Hands On
Activities, Guarded Vocabulary, and Classroom Management. Each in depth
Probe provides a video clip and four commentaries from Julene Kendell
herself and three other educators.

• The Assessment Literacy Case:
A Video Ethnography of Formal and Informal Assessment Practices
by Stefinee Pinnegar, Annela Teemant, and Carl Harris (2001)
This case allows mainstream teachers to investigate examples of formal
and informal assessment practices, such as the use of instructional conversation,
portfolio, performance, and authentic assessments. The cases will expand
your assessment literacy for assessing culturally and linguistically diverse
students by exploring five different teachers’ assessment practices.
The concepts and principles of assessment literacy are highlighted; that
is, the concepts of Useful (Principles: Educative and Practical), Meaningful
(Principles: Relevant and Accurate), and Equitable (Principles: Open and
Appropriate). In addition, perspectives are offered on practices from
the teacher and students, and also from teacher educators with expertise
in assessment, second language development, and the standard for effective
pedagogy.

• The Second Language Acquisition Case
(3 CD-ROM set)
by Annela Teemant and Stefinee Pinnegar (2001)
This case allows mainstream teachers to see and hear the first hand accounts
of nine diverse second language learners, their teachers, and families.
We learn about who second language learners are (Study One), their needs
(Study Two), their experiences in and outside of school as well as their
efforts to learn English (Study Three and Four). You also can see, hear,
and read about the ideas, research, concerns and perspectives of seventy-one
national and international experts, such as Jim Cummins, Nina Spada, Fred
Genesee, Eugene Garcia, Richard Ruiz, Luis Moll, Virginia Collier, Nancy
Cloud, Linda Harklau, Roland Tharp and others. For example, in Study Two,
national experts talk about the cognitive, social, affective, and linguistic
needs of language learners. Study Five highlights the second language
acquisition concepts and principles that should guide mainstream teachers’
work with language minority students. These concepts are Communication
(Principles: Input and Interaction), Pattern (Principles: Stages of Development
and Errors/Feedback) and Variability (Principles: Types of Proficiencies
and Types of Performances).
