26. 5 professional development books for EL teachers


Listen Later

I love books, especially historical fiction, but in this episode I focus on a different type of book, professional development books for EL teachers. There are plenty of great books out there for EL teachers. I have read many of them and have several more on my list to read next. I am excited to share some of them with you in this episode. During the school year, it can be hard to find the time or headspace to read a good professional development book, which is why summer break is a great time to read a book or two to inspire you for the upcoming school year.

Professional development books you will hear about (some of the links below are affiliate links, which only means that I might get a few pennies if you purchase the book using that link. No additional cost to you at all:)

  • A short handbook for new EL teachers and for those who have EL students in their classrooms
  • A book that includes practical tips on how to differentiate instruction for multi level classrooms and great activities that can be implemented right away 
  • A book that helps teachers move beyond their current practices with EL students. It provides simplified “can do” descriptors that list what students can do at different proficiencies and suggested scaffolds
  • A book about celebrating student strengths using the  translanguaging approach when teaching English Learners.
  • A book to help you improve your ability to develop your colleagues in the best practices you learn and practice.
