Petrie, Lori; Sukanen, Rebecca
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v14 n4 p32-36 Fall 2001
A third-grade teacher and an English-as-a-second-language (ESL) teacher collaborated to ensure the academic success of English language learners through "a priori" teaching. The ESL support teacher used verbal and interactive strategies to pre-teach key concepts, skills, and academic language relevant to the subject matter being covered in the regular classroom. (SV)
