EL specialists and general ed teachers pool their expertise, in this new edition. More than a decade of implementation has generated for Andrea Honigsfeld and Maria Dove new insight into what exemplary teacher collaboration looks like, which essential frameworks must be established, and how integrated approaches to ELD services benefit all stakeholders. Essentially a roadmap to the many different ways we can all work together, this second edition of Collaborating for English Learners features: all-new examples, case studies, illustrative video, and policy updates; in-depth coverage of the full range of strategies and configurations for determining the best model to adopt; templates, planning guides, and other practical tools to put collaboration into practice; and guidelines, self-assessments, and questionnaires for evaluating the strategies’ effectiveness. By this time, the benefits of teacher collaboration are well documented. Where teachers and schools struggle still is determining the best way to do so, especially when working with our ELs. That’s where Andrea Honigsfeld, Maria Dove, and their second edition of Collaborating for English Learners will prove indispensable.

Provides a step-by-step guide to co-teaching and collaboration between EL specialists and mainstream classroom teachers to better serve the needs of ELs.
