Product Overview
Schools are required to provide multilingual learners with specialized instruction, per federal and state laws and regulations. However, service delivery options vary from state to state and from school to school based on policies, mandates, demographics, and a range of other variables. Today, more and more schools are using collaborative integrated services and co-teaching to meet the needs of these learners.
This guide is designed to support for K-12 English Language Development (ELD) teachers and their general education colleagues as they engage in a complete collaborative instructional cycle consisting of co-planning, co-teaching, co-assessing, and reflecting on practice. It presents a collaborative planning framework, reviews coteaching models along with their respective advantages and disadvantages, and identifies critical questions for reflection on action.
