I have been an ELL or ELD (English Language Development) teacher at an elementary school for two years. Next year will be my third year teaching and I will be part of a pilot for my district in the collaborative teaching model, or co-teaching model, for serving bilingual students.
I am curious what other ElEdBlogers have to say about the collaboration model. I'd love to hear from you St. Paul folks who are considered the experts.
Our district's bilingual department all traveled to St. Paul to learn about the collaborative model/bilingual services there. We are using St. Paul Public Schools as our model for effective bilingual services.
I'll have a training with classroom teachers this summer and then we get started!
