Even though most schools have seen a steady increase in the number of multilingual students in the classroom, more than 60% of teachers indicate they have not had sufficient professional development opportunities on the topic of multilingual learners. This edWebinar will explore the transformative role of instructional coaching in supporting teachers in their important work with multilingual learners and closing achievement gaps. Through practical insights and real-world examples, participants will leave equipped to use coaching as a powerful tool to make intentional changes across the school day. Every teacher deserves the opportunity to work with an instructional coach.

This webinar will answer these questions based on empirical testing of coaching programs implemented in ESL/ELD, dual language, K–5 general education—and 6th-grade to 12th-grade math, science, social studies, and language arts classrooms in middle and high schools. We encourage coaches, teachers, and school leadership to attend this webinar together so you can launch your program immediately!
