"When Andrea and Maria shared that they were coming out with this book, they had me at co-planning. My practice has been transformed with their other books on co-teaching and teacher collaboration, and this newest book continues their advocacy for multilinguals through teacher collaboration. Just like their other resources, this book is practical, researched-based, and guided by practice. They share frameworks, structures, and processes for making the best of co-planning. With this book, they have lifted co-planning to its essential role in the co-teaching model."
Co-planning can significantly elevate instruction, support teacher learning and development, and change the learning experiences for multilingual learners. Yet, there has long been a need for co-planning resources that are practical, research-based, and easy to implement. Honigsfeld and Dove fill that need as they share five essential components for effective collaborative planning with extensive classroom examples and ready-to-use resources.
"Co-Planning offers an exciting and much-needed addition to the groundbreaking work Andrea Honigsfeld and Maria Dove already done in the field of educating ELs/MLs. It is evident that they understand what teachers need to make collaboration successful. Throughout the book the authors use real-life examples from teachers who are doing the work in classrooms. The examples are relevant, current, and practical.
"Co-Planning helps teachers move from isolation to collaboration to co-plan impactful lessons for MLs, and all students! The essential concepts and practical tools are relevant to ALL educators committed to deepening equitable access in linguistically-rich schools."
"While many leaders supporting ELs and MLs appreciate the imperative to integrate grade level content, literacy, and academic English in all subjects, few understand how to do it.
"Honigsfeld and Dove are THE experts on co-teaching and co-planning and this new book presents a deeper dive into co-planning, focusing on 'the HOW:' how to make collaboration happen and how to make collaboration impactful. The stunning visuals throughout the text increase engagement, promote deeper understanding, and model a relevant, research-supported strategy. The sample co-planning and co-teaching schedules are terrific tools to use when advocating with administrators. They help administrators see the possibility of making co-teaching happen within existing staffing realities.
