Portraits of Collaboration

Portraits of Collaboration: Educators Working Together to Support Multilingual Learners explores the topics of teacher collaboration and coteaching within ESL, ELD, and bilingual classrooms. The overarching theme that runs through this edited volume is the importance of educators working together for the sake of their multilingual learners. Such collaborations may take many different shapes and forms and each chapter showcases a unique dimension of teacher collaboration. Each contributing author offers highly practical strategies and authentic, successful examples of how to engage in collaborative practices successfully. The chapters draw the readers in through some recurring features such as a narrative introduction, a blueprint for successful implementation, high-impact strategies and student success stories. The collaborative practices come alive through photographs, vignettes, teacher-created tools, student artifacts, and video clips and other resources in this richly illustrated volume.
