Edna Murphy, after a short career as a teacher, became head of primary schools first in London and then Brussels. She founded and edited for 22 years the International Schools Journal, a semi-annual publication now in its 30th year. She later conceived of, edited and contributed to a book entitled ESL: A Handbook for Teachers and Administrators in International Schools. She also served for many years on the Board of the European Council of International Schools. In this capacity and well into her retirement she headed accreditation teams to schools in Europe, Asia and Africa, the primary school being her particular interest.

Edna Murphy’s edited volume, Welcoming Linguistic Diversity in Early Childhood Classrooms, is a nice collection of essays that provides a wealth of practical advice about incorporating students’ native languages in early elementary classrooms, classrooms in which English is the language of instruction. The usefulness of the strategies outlined in Welcoming Linguistic Diversity in Early Childhood Classrooms and the contributors’ powerful insights make the volume an important text, one that many educators will find quite valuable.
