CO-TEACHING AND
ELLS
COLLABORATION FOR ELL
STUDENT SUCCESS
CO-TEACHING
Co-teaching
is two or more people
sharing the responsibility for
teaching some or all of the students
assigned to a classroom.
It
involves the distribution of
responsibility among people for
planning, instruction, and evaluation
for a classroom of students.
CO-TEACHING
Co-teaching Is:
Sharing of
expertise
Interdependent
Communicating
Collaborative
Mutual
Meeting students’
needs
Co-teaching Isn’t:
Isolation
Independent
Silence
Disconnected
Separation
Divisive
ESL TEACHERS AND CONTENT-AREA
TEACHERS
ESL Teachers
ESL teachers have had
considerable training
in such areas as
second language
acquisition,
linguistics, language
pedagogy and
methodology, culture,
scaffolding
techniques, and
language and literacy
development.
Content Area Teachers
In contrast, most
content-area teachers
have not received
enough training in
these subjects. As a
result, content
teachers need guidance
from ESL teachers to
effectively teach their
ELLs, who are at
varying levels of English
language proficiency.
SOME APPROACHES TO COTEACHING
Complimentary Teaching
Supportive Teaching
Team Teaching
Parallel Teaching
COMPLIMENTARY TEACHING
Occurs when one co-teacher does
something to enhance the instruction
provided by the other co-teacher.
One teacher takes primary responsibility
for designing the lesson. However, both
teachers share in the delivery of the
information sometimes with a varied
delivery method.
SCAFFOLDING SUPPORTS FOR ELLS
RECOMMENDED BY ESL TEACHERS
Graphic Organizers
Visuals and Realia

A STRONG EMPHASIS ON ACADEMIC
VOCABULARY
ESL teachers bring a deep, often untapped level
of expertise in teaching academic language that
can be leveraged across their schools and
districts.
http://theellconsortium.wikispaces.com/file/view/
VOCABULARY.pdf Handbook of Academic
Vocabulary
ESL teachers can consult with content teachers
by helping them analyze the academic language
demands of their content areas and offering
them advice for designing lessons that teach
academic language and rigorous content
simultaneously (Ex. The SIOP Model)
http://www.cal.org/siop/lesson-plans/index.html
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
ESL teachers tend to be more aware of
community resources for ELLs, such as
multicultural counseling services.
ESL teachers are often members of
professional learning communities within
the ESL field which tend to provide
additional support to CCSS.
ADVOCATES FOR STUDENT NEEDS
ESL teachers tend to be highly adept at advocating
for their ELLs in multiple ways, even if they do not
always see themselves as advocates.

http://blog.colorincolorado.org/2013/12/05/your-rolein-the-ccss-advocacy-action-items-part-2/
If school administrators recognize ESL teachers as
language development experts and set an
expectation that ELLs are “Everybody’s Kids,” they
have the opportunity to create a school culture in
which the entire staff shares responsibility for ELL
success with the CCSS.
ESL TEACHERS AS SCHOOL LEADERS
ESL teachers practice developing (and
believing in) their own leadership voices to
ensure that they are heard and consulted
on decisions that affect them and their
students.
ESL teachers may seek leadership training
so that they can be better prepared to
advocate for their place at the table and
their students in policy decisions.
SUPPORTIVE TEACHING
Occurs when one teacher is assigned
primary responsibilities for designing and
delivering a lesson, and the other
member(s) of the team does something that
complements, supplements, or enhances
the lesson.
TEACH AND WRITE
Teach and Write
One teacher teaches the lesson while the
other records the important points on an
overhead or chalkboard. ELLs benefit from
this because information is being presented
to them through different modalities.
TEAM TEACHING
Occurs when two or more people do what
the traditional teacher used to do.
They share responsibility for planning,
teaching, and assessing progress of
students in the class(es) that they teach
together.
STATION TEACHING
Station Teaching
Students rotate through predetermined
stations or activities.
Each teacher works with all the students as
they come through the station.

PARALLEL TEACHING
Occurs when co-teachers instruct different
groups of students at the same time in the
classroom.

SOME NICE LESSON PLANNING LINKS
https://www.teachingchannel.org/blog/2013/10/25/video-playlist-ell-instruction/
We’re excited to present a new six-part video series showcasing an exemplar unit
that focuses on ELA instruction for middle school English Language Learners.
These videos were produced in conjunction with Teaching Channel and Denver
Public Schools. The videos highlight opportunities to grow students’ disciplinary
knowledge and English language skills in heterogeneous classrooms. Watch how
two ELA teachers bring this unit to life, then dig deeper into the instructional
and learning approaches used in the series with this blog from our
Understanding Language team, Rebecca Greene.
