Our group focused on "staying out of the weeds" and not making it about us. Making tenuous connections and showing empathy is sometimes shown by sharing our experiences as well. Regarding coplanning, it's important to remember the objectives and not get caught up in the details.

#ellsapd another skill that I have learned while being in a #coteaching partnership is OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS. Saves time, helps us both understand the why and the how and the what.

A2 How we frame learners' challenges matter, language matters. Labeling #multilinguals as 'struggling' 'low' shows our #biases and implies that we expect them to #assimilate We must be #advocates and remove #barriers in the environment #ELLSAPD
