Because teacher collaboration isn't an option, it's a MUST!
EL authorities Maria Dove and Andrea Honigsfeld take ESL teachers and their general education colleagues step-by-step through building a successful collaboration--or improving an existing one. And since no teaching team is exactly alike, you'll find seven collaborative models to choose from. Features include:
- In-depth profiles of the seven models
- Advantages and challenges of each model
- Clear explanations of each teacher's role
- Tried-and-true strategies for the entire instructional cycle: co-planning, co-instruction, co-assessment, and reflection
- Real-life accounts from co-teaching veterans
- Accompanying videos and dedicated web content
