Job-Embedded Support:
Teachers and leaders serving in dual, bilingual, world language, ESL, and monolingual settings have a very important and difficult job. Regular interaction with and mentoring by experienced professionals in the classroom, school, and district environments can make a measurable difference in student academic performance and staff morale.
With Dr. José Medina: Educational Solutions, job-embedded coaching for teachers and leaders may include:
- One-to-one coaching
- Structured observation lessons
- Small group lesson planning
The Dual Language Teacher:
Guided Classroom Observations
and Coaching
Teachers are often encouraged to visit other classrooms as a means to grow professionally. Without guidance and protocols in place, the process may not result in a change in practice. Through the guided classroom observation, teachers and/or leaders will walk away with specific understanding of what was observed and how it can be implemented into their own practice.
The C6 Biliteracy Framework: Instructional Rounds for Administrators and/or Teachers
The C6 Biliteracy Framework: Instructional Rounds allow administrators and school leaders to engage in in-depth learning about best practices for dual language instructions via guided classroom visits (remote or in person). Through the use of the C6 Biliteracy Framework, participants will be able to experience first-hand biliteracy instructional practices that align with the recommendations in Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education: Third Edition.
