Dr. Honigsfeld’s Co-Teaching and Collaboration research-based practices have been surmountable in transforming professional development in many North Carolina schools. Not only was the framework officially adopted as a state-level initiative, several school districts are focused on building capacity within their ESL and General Education departments. The student-centered practices, including collaborative, authentic assessment, truly support ELs’ increased academic language development. As a researcher myself, working with Dr. Honigsfeld has changed the shape of new and emerging research on Co-teaching and Collaboration approaches in North Carolina!
