(1995). Peer Coaching: An Effective Staff Development Model for Educators of Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Students, Directions in Language and Education. Peer coaching develops from a leadership role on the part of educators of linguistically and culturally diverse (LCD) students, together with an interdisciplinary cooperation between bilingual/English as a Second Language (ESL) and mainstream staff. Peer coaching is a professional development method in which teachers share their expertise and provide one another with feedback, support, and assistance for refining present skills, learning new skills, or solving classroom-related problems; it can also include in-class training by a supportive peer. Peer coaching is an ongoing process. Benefits include formation of relationships to coordinate the knowledge and skills needed to help LCD students effectively, improvement in teaching, and development of a more positive outlook towards LCD students by mainstream teachers. Peer coaching programs can be initiated by two teachers jointly planning instruction segments or by assigning a more skilled teacher to teach others. Four working models of peer coaching are described in detail: technical, collegial, challenge, and team. Factors to be considered before implementing a coaching system are listed, and coaching program implementation strategy steps are offered. Six specific strategies for low-cost coaching arrangements are suggested. (Contains 23 references.)

(1981). Applications of Second Language Acquisition Research to the Bilingual Classroom. Focus, Number 8. Second language research is important for teachers in bilingual programs because it investigates which solutions work best for which problems, in which situations, and with which learners. Research aids practitioners in more effective program planning, implementation, and evaluation. To compensate for the time lag in availability of materials, concerned teachers must keep up with current research, analyze its findings, and apply them to their teaching approaches and instructional materials. This paper presents: (1) an overview of major research areas in second language acquisition and refers to a sample of studies whose findings have clear implications for the classroom, (2) a second language learning model that incorporates many of the recent research findings into a taxonomic scheme, and (3) criteria and guidelines for applying second language acquisition research findings to the bilingual classroom. Four major areas of importance to the classroom teacher in current second language acquisition research are the comparison of first and second language acquisition; social, affective, and cognitive factors; second language input; and second language learning in school settings.

(1991). School Based Management: What Bilingual and ESL Program Directors Should Know. Program Information Guide Series No. 5. A discussion of the school based management movement outlines the forces influencing the movement, examines the process of change as a key factor in implementation of school based management, discusses how roles of key personnel and key players shape the design and implementation of school based management, and describes the steps that bilingual and English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) project directors must take to ensure the continued viability of instructional programs serving limited-English-speaking students in those contexts. The history of the movement since 1983 is briefly chronicled, and the process of changeover to school based management in a district is described, with reference to research on organizational change and adjustment in roles. The possible specific effects of school based management on bilingual and ESL programs are then discussed in greater detail, focusing on role changes for the program director or coordinator, the bilingual or ESL teacher, and parents and community members. Potential administrative, programmatic, and curricular changes in bilingual and ESL programs are also addressed. Finally, what the bilingual or ESL program director can do to prepare for school based management is outlined, including a checklist for program directors to use in implementing school based management. Contains 30 references. [More] Descriptors: Administrator Guides, Administrator Role, Bilingual Education, Change Strategies
