A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As both English language specialists and general education teachers, we have the same hope for our students: that they are able to perform to the best of their abilities each and every day. In today’s society, we face many challenges as we strive toward this vision of success for our students. Co?teaching is an instructional approach that puts two professionals together to share their expertise to greatly increase the academic achievement of students. This approach will enhance your own teaching skills, make it easier to match learning styles to students and most importantly, provide your ELLs with a richer and more effective learning environment.

This seminar is designed to help you create or refine your own ELL co?teaching program. We will discuss how to build and maintain positive and productive working partnerships, ideas for creative scheduling, identifying the roles of each team teacher, and much, much more! I will share dozens of ideas and techniques to provide you with classroom?tested methods, activities and strategies you can use immediately to support ELL students.

Experience shows that students are not the only ones who gain from co?teaching. It is a powerful and rewarding model that can have significant benefits for teachers as well. I invite you to join me for a day to help you start or make the most of your current co?teaching program with ELLs so everyone can reap the benefits of this research?based and very practical model of teaching.

Sincerely,
Kathy Perez, EdD

P.S. I guarantee you will leave this seminar re?energized and armed with ready?to?use tools that will make a tremendous difference for your English Language Learners!
