Abstract
This project has the intended goal to benefit English language learners (ELLs) and those who teach them through the means and methods of co-teaching and joint instruction. Cornwall Central Middle School has an increasing ELL population, and several teachers who are inexperienced with co-teaching and collaboration among colleagues. The literature shows the effectiveness of co-teaching when employed in a way that demonstrates teamwork, trust, and care for students and colleagues. It also explores an array of strategies to co-teach well, and reviews attitudes of co-teaching and respect for English as new language (ENL) teachers. When utilized properly, research indicates that co-teaching is an engaging and effectual tool and way of teaching ELLs. Teachers at Cornwall Central Middle School will take part in a half-day, professional development training, in order to address the inadequacies in the school’s training of co-teaching. The purpose of this professional development is to foster teamwork and a better understanding of ELLs and ENL teachers, as well as developing mutual co-teaching partnerships across content areas. It is recommended that teachers continue training and informal observations on the topic of and while co-teaching.
