Our conversation began with Dr. Honigsfeld emphasizing the importance of co-planning with shared goals and objectives to support multilingual learners effectively. She highlighted the need for alignment between content and language goals for accelerated learning.
We delved into the concept of co-teaching, where Dr. Honigsfeld emphasized the shift from remediation to acceleration in language development. She discussed the significance of building partnerships and shared understanding to create an environment conducive to accelerated learning for multilingual learners.
Dr. Honigsfeld also touched on the upcoming release of her book on co-assessment with Dr. Margot Gottlieb, focusing on collaborative assessment practices for English learners. The discussion underscored the value of gathering data to track progress and make informed instructional decisions.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Honigsfeld emphasized the asset-based approach to working with multilingual learners and teachers, promoting a mindset of collaboration, mutual learning, and co-generation.
