Favorite Books for teachers of English Language Learners
Collaboration and Co-teaching Strategies for English language learners
This is my favorite book available addressing collaboration and co-teaching for English language learners.
This book provides a variety of strategies and action items to collaborate with teachers.
Why do English language learners struggle with reading?
This textbook is a wonderful resource that covers all research related to why ELls struggle with reading. It also helps separate what we all sometimes wonder about: is it a disability or a language issue?
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
As one of the first books I read when I began to develop relationships and implement programming for ELLs it is still my favorite book.
Understanding the psychology about mindsets helped me develop relationships when working with people.
