You Don't Need an MBA to Make MillionsDo you want to be an entrepreneur, but are afraid to try because you didn't go to business school? As a selfmade multi-millionaire, I'm here to tell you that an MBA is not a prerequisite to success. I know from personal experience that it is possible to be a successful business owner in spite of this "deficit," and I will share with you what I have learned. Now let's make it clear, I have the highest regard for advanced education, but I also understand that just because people are not academically inclined in their youth, doesn't mean that they are not intelligent or capable of doing well in life  extremely well.

Today's public schools are increasingly characterized by cultural and linguistic diversity. Studies show that about 4.4 million students nationwide lack the English skills needed to succeed academically. To help second language learners keep up in the classroom, educators must understand the challenges that bilingual students and schools face.

In this concise guide, former bilingual teacher Judith Lessow-Hurley dives right into the language debate swirling in school systems large and small. She examines the popular myths about educating students in a multilinquistic society and introduces the key issues:

* The demographics of second language learners
* The theory underlying language instruction
* Desirable qualifications for bilingual teachers
* Effective teaching methods and programs
* Language and politics
* Language and the law

By confronting common beliefs about English-only and immersion programs, basic interpersonal communication skills, the influence of culture on language, and more, Lessow-Hurley reveals how schools can successfully educate students from diverse backgrounds--without unintended prejudice. Her passionate and intelligent response in the language debate views every school as the bridge between cultures, helping all students develop academically and equally.
