Book excerpt: Demonstrating new strategies for effective teaching and learning related to topics such as translanguaging, literacy assessment, and arts integration, this book reveals how 2-person teacher partnerships can help implement, facilitate, and maintain culturally relevant and responsive early literacy teaching in diverse contexts. This book shares the story of five teacher-teacher dyads who worked together in two-person teams across university-school contexts to study, generate, and evaluate culturally sustaining literacy practices in early childhood classrooms across the country. Insightful and instructive, the narratives in this collection model how to create positive and mutually beneficial dynamics among teachers, students, their families and communities.
