New DeCapua and Marshall article

The February 2015 edition of Principal Leadership features an excellent article by Andrea DeCapua and Helaine Marshall entitled, Promoting Achievement for ELLs with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education: A Culturally Responsive Approach.  DeCapua and Marshall have collaborated on several books and articles about SLIFE in the past and are two of the leading authors on the subject. This article summarizes several of the key themes from their books into a single, concise article.  It provides a good introduction to the topic for those who are just getting into it and a good reminder for those of us who are more familiar with their work.
