"Dove and Honigsfeld′s new book arrives at the perfect time as an increasing number of schools move to a collaborative instructional model and are searching for guidance. The authors not only tell us how to effectively collaborate and co-teach to benefit English learners, they actually show us what each component of the collaborative instructional cycle looks and feels like, complemented by innovative video and web content." —DIANE STAEHR FENNER, Coauthor of Unlocking ELs’ Potential and President of SupportEd Because teacher collaboration isn’t an option, it’s a MUST!
