This hands-on guide introduces \u003cem\u003ecritical advocacy\u003c\/em\u003e and explores how its effectiveness is tied to educators' critical awareness of themselves, their broader political contexts, and their daily school-based work with MLs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors use a tree metaphor to represent the importance of roots (identities, beliefs, and ideologies); the trunk (core critical advocacy beliefs); branches (areas of critical advocacy action); and off-shoots and leaves (local critical advocacy action). Throughout, there are features such as \u003cem\u003eVoices From the Field\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDigging In\u003c\/em\u003e, which invite readers to consider concepts from the text in their own lives, contexts, and practices. At the end of the book, the authors provide a Critical Advocacy Action Planning Tool to help readers plan for critical advocacy in their own context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you already see yourself as an advocate or are new to this work, this book will help you develop a critical advocacy stance and cultivate the practices and dispositions needed to engage in meaningful, sustainable, and effective advocacy with and for MLs in your school, classroom, and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca E.
