"This book addresses the needs of school leaders who support and work with ELs by offering a wide, but focused view of its many aspects. Functioning as a primer for those without EL expertise, and striving always toward a positive impact on EL achievement, Cooper explores and explains topics that leaders face every day: student identification, program models and service models (ESL, co-teaching, bilingual and dual language programs), staffing questions, coaching, evaluation rubrics, needs assessment, observation, and professional learning models, as well as the importance of establishing family community partnerships for the betterment of culturally and linguistically diverse students"-- Provided by publisher.
