Interesting article from Forbes that gives a nice conceptual vocabulary lesson in the term 'preemption', which is defined as "the idea that the federal government can 'occupy the field' of an area of law or regulation and prohibit lower governments from meddling with it." The tension between the Obama administration litigating this issue alongside its deportation policies that are nabbing even U.S. citizens is somewhat confusing.

I am a professor in the Lynch School of Education and Human Development at Boston College, and director of the Curriculum & Instruction doctoral program. I have served as an associate editor at Child Development, Applied Psycholinguistics, and an editor at Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools. I was a bilingual teacher in Detroit, MI and have worked in district, state, and nonprofit settings. I work with bilingual learners from multilingual homes in K-8 settings, thinking about language use and development, cross-linguistic relations, instructional interventions, and teacher practice. I've published a bunch of articles and book chapters, and have developed language and reading curricula. I always work in close collaboration with teachers to facilitate the translation of research to practice.
