Collaboration and Co-teaching: Integrated ELD Service Delivery

One of the 21st century competencies proclaimed by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills is collaboration. In Edutopia, Will Richardson has claimed that the Information Age is now being replaced by the Collaboration Age. This workshop takes a broad-based look at what effective teacher collaboration looks like, what essential frameworks need to be established for ELD and mainstream teachers to work together, and how integrated approaches to ELD services benefit all stakeholders.
 
Participants will
•    become familiar with various types of instructional and non-instructional collaborative practices among ELD and mainstream teachers
•    explore how teacher collaboration may yield the most effective instruction to meet the diverse academic and language development needs of ELLs/MLLs
•    learn how to implement various co-teaching models to enhance differentiation of instruction for ELLs/MLLs
•    evaluate vignettes and video clips of collaborative practices
