Be the instructional coach multilingual students and their teachers need.

As the population of multilingual learners (MLs) in Kâ"12 schools continues to grow, instructional coaches must support content teachers to recognize these studentsâ assets and address their linguistic, cultural, academic, and social-emotional needs. Leveraging her decades of facilitating and coaching experience in the fields of language, literacy, and professional learning, Margarita Calder³n meets this urgent need with practical, evidence-based strategies to leverage the power of coaching in support of ML excellence.

Through the individual chapters dedicated to academic language, reading, and writing instruction and strategies to promote student discourse and social-emotional learning embedded throughout, this book will give coaches what they need to guide all teachers toward ML excellence. Additional features include

A step-by-step framework designed to help coaches promote teacher efficacy with MLs regardless of program setting or instructional approach
Clear guidance for how to structure coaching sessions with teachers, driven by research-based approaches and observation and feedback protocols for accelerating student comprehension
Myth-busting facts about the doâs and donâ²ts of effective coaching for ML success
Spotlights on the experiences of veteran coaches focusing on successes, challenges, and tips to remain resilient
Individual and group reflection questions and tools at the close of each chapter

Offering solutions to the challenges faced by MLs that content area teachers must be prepared to address, this book is a powerful tool coaches can use to move multilingual instruction beyond compliance to excellence.

Industry Reviews

"Coaches of teachers with multilingual learners are defacto agents of equity, as it is their responsibility to be advocates and nurture the students' linguistic and cultural assets. As ambassadors for multilingual learners, coaches who are well-versed in the language development process have not had a venue to share their expertise.... until now. Coaching for Multilingual Excellence is an invaluable resource that is dedicated to how coaches can assist classroom teachers with strategies and tools that integrate content, language, and literacy into a viable instructional framework." -- Margo Gottlieb, Cofounder and Lead Developer "If you're looking for a book to help you coach teachers with multilingual learners, your wait is over. Inside this book, you will find evidence-based strategies for teaching vocabulary, reading, and writing. This book is a gift to all coaches and teachers, and it will make a world of difference for students." -- Jim Knight, Author and Senior Partner
