Your English Language Learners are counting on you to collaborate effectively.

The Common Core State Standards have increased the pressure on English Language Learners. And with the EL population increasing every day, schools need proven systems for ensuring that the students of the future are able to thrive.

In practice, this is a challenge for educational leaders. The most promising solution is the collaborative approach pioneered by this book’s authors—America’s leading authorities on collaboration and co-teaching for EL achievement.

Honigsfeld and Dove’s resources for collaboration and co-teaching include

Templates for creating EL profiles that will enable you to address their unique needs
Prompts for Professional Learning activities (for teams or individuals) and further reading
The latest research findings on best instructional practices that benefit ELs

This is your concise, comprehensive guide to creating a powerful collaborative program to benefit your ELs. Start implementing it today and watch the outcomes improve.

“We have used Collaboration and Co-Teaching to strengthen the types of support that ELL Specialists offer classroom teachers. Having a systematic, collaborative process to create a school-wide success model for ELL students benefits everyone in education with the reward of student achievement. Our district is looking forward to using A Leader’s Guide as a way of strengthening our professional development and collaborative efforts towards quality instruction for English Learners.”
—Heidi LaMare, Supervisor of Programs for ELL Students
