Abstract:

This book presents a validated observation instrument to support and
further develop the pedagogic expertise of teachers of English
Learners in US schools. Based on sociocultural and second language
teaching and learning theories, the Observation Protocol for Academic
Literacies (OPAL) has a variety of uses across teacher preparation
programs, pre-K-12 classroom contexts and school districts. This book
leads the reader through the process of using OPAL with real classroom
observations in the form of vignettes, in order to develop confidence
and reliability scoring evidence in research-based practices. The book
provides examples of its non-evaluative uses to conduct research,
support teachers and identify areas of strength and weakness in their
professional development. It also offers researchers and policymakers
a tool for collecting classroom-based evidence to inform the
implementation and refinement of English Learner programs.
