This book explores the reflective narratives of teacher educators, in-service, and preservice teachers to prepare and train teachers who are or will be working with MLs. It discusses the challenges and implications of teaching groups of MLs, including immigrants, refugees, and learners with disabilities.

Preparing teachers for this diverse student population has become crucial in promoting equity and success for all students in our global society. This book explores and highlights the reflective narratives of teacher educators, in-service, and preservice teachers, revealing how their personal experiences, professional training, and daily teaching shape their perspectives on MLs teaching and teacher preparation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book presents a collection of papers that utilize teachers' reflective narratives to prepare and train teachers who are or will be working with MLs. It discusses the challenges and implications of teaching groups of MLs, including immigrants, refugees, and learners with disabilities. The book aims to change the narrative of some of our most vulnerable student populations by giving voice to the experiences, challenges, successes, and best practices encountered in the international education landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter in the book offers systematic and intentional reflections that bring the marginalized stories to the center of the discussion. This understanding is critical for culturally and linguistically diverse teaching and learning, as it helps teachers develop empathy, cultural competence, and effective strategies to support MLs' academic and social-emotional development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is valuable for teacher educators, in-service teachers, preservice teachers, and anyone interested in improving the education of MLs.
