EL Instructional Coaching: Models of Support for Teachers of English Learners

Implementing best practices of EL Instructional Coaching is crucial for district's ability to support classroom teachers of ELs. When EL coaching is chosen for job-embedded teacher support, quality analyses of research-based practices are needed. Presenters share their insights on how research-based models are applied in practice. Equity for ELs is conceived as the main purpose of implementing EL coaching: We call to reimagine how equity for ELs is served. EL Instructional Coaching scaffolds teachers’ ability to make rigorous content comprehensible for ELs, not simplified. We discuss key principles and practical models of how districts can establish, develop, and evaluate their EL coaching systems and share the resources created and collected over the years. We also reflect on the reasons behind the decisions to keep some of these practices and never use others. This session is of special interest to anyone involved in the professional development of classroom teachers of ELs.
