Preparing to take the CLAD test.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Handbook (Paperback)
Chapters 1 & 2 seemed very dry but I'm not big on theory. The remaining chapters were much more interesting. I highly recommend reading it before taking the CLAD test.

Everything I needed for the CTEL,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development Handbook: A Complete K-12 Reference Guide (Paperback)
This text admirably addresses the CTEL exam. Pop for the third edition; it's worth it. And if it were up to me, this book's sections on immigration law, history, and diversity would be required reading for any educator.
