This course is offered in tandem with the Massachusetts state-adopted Integrating SEI Into Literacy Coaching and Integrating SEI Into Mathematics Coaching courses. Teachers and instructional coaches collaborate in this course, focusing on sheltered instruction that maximizes opportunities for engagement, differentiation, and achievement for culturally, linguistically, economically, and learning diverse students. This course expands and deepens knowledge and practice with ELLs, and provides a process for professional learning grounded right in the teacher's own classroom. In addition, this course supports the coaching knowledge and skill of the coach and the teacher who participate in the instructional coaching relationship. Teachers strengthen existing practices, develop new practices, and engage in coaching cycles. They receive timely feedback, and most importantly, set ongoing targets customized to their own classroom, their students' needs and their goals. This course grounded in critical sociocultural practice, and designed for Literacy and Mathematics teachers serving ELLs in their content classrooms, focuses on "Fostering Collaboration", a Massachusetts SEI Extension course priority. Specifically it addresses the following SEI Extension Course parameters:
