When EL-specialists and general educators work in partnership, rather than in separate silos (the traditional approach to educating ELs), the likelihood of promoting both language development and content mastery increases exponentially. Although this premise may seem like common sense, implementing this approach typically requires high-quality professional development, opportunities for sustained practice, and leadership support across schools and districts.
