The article, "A University and District ESOL Coaching Partnership:  Collaboration with the Context or Common Core State Standards Implementation," can be found in Education and Urban Society (doi:  10.1177/0013124517713246).

This article highlights how a university and P-12 school district collaboration provided opportunities to grapple with meeting the instructional needs of English learners within the context of Common Core State Standards implementation and teacher perceptions of engaging with a university-based partner.

In addition, Russell published a chapter, "Supporting Inservice Teachers of English Learners and Their Development of an Asset-based framework through Community Asset Maps and Oral Histories in the U.S.," in the Routledge-published book, Teacher Professional Knowledge Development for Reflective and Inclusive Practices (2017), with co-author Amanda Richey (Kennesaw State University).

This chapter presents a self-study of teacher educator practice and reflects on the development and implementation of two assessments (community asset maps and oral histories) designed to support practicing teachers in a TESOL masters degree program in their development of an asset-based framework for collaboration and engagement with linguistically diverse students, families, and communities.

The co-authors presented on the same topic at the Japan-U.S. Teacher Education Consortium at the University of Hawaii at Monoa, in September, 2017.
