In particular, this volume demonstrates how access for young Latina students to STEM related fields can be bolstered through engagement with mentors in writing and reading programs. Written for pre- and in-service teachers, as well as scholars across disciplines, this book aims to re-conceptualize the ways in which writing can best serve ethnically and linguistically diverse students, especially girls UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429815164 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
