Editorial Review | Working in a very large, linguistically diverse school board, where top priorities include the goals of ensuring equity and high expectations for all students, it's exciting to find a text which commits on practically addressing the complexity of co planning, co teaching and co assessing to support the success of English learners, through and through. It is with respect of educators of the field that the authors have truly demystified how successful partnerships unfold honoring the power of the whole collaborative planning cycle. By providing in depth illustrations and real life scenarios with several variations to highlight a variety of contexts, this book allows for multiple entry points. Honestly, in all my roles in education over the last 22 years, including ESL/ELD teacher, classroom teacher, resource teacher and even now as a leader supporting over 250 schools to address the needs of ELs, I have never found a resource that does what Dove and Honigsfeld have achieved here. This book is ideal for school teams, teachers with their administrators, ready to roll their sleeves up. I have always believed that supporting linguistically diverse students to achieve academic should not be beyond our reach and would wonder why many districts share the experience that they cannot get there effectively. Dove and Honigsfeld have revealed where the link has been broken. Their research is focused on intentionally orchestrating conditions in classrooms for students to learn the content while acquiring the language of instruction this to happen in tandem. Now that is true rocket science! |
