Three of Choi’s FMS students get worldwide pub
Works by students from Russia, Honduras, South Korea published by famed international author
The book, “Growing Language and Literacy; Strategies for Secondary Multilingual Learners,” includes examples from 60 educators around the world and is published globally.
In her books, Honigsfeld focuses on current teaching strategies with an emphasis on what actually works in practice. “She knows that the good work is happening inside the four walls of the classroom,” Choi said when asked what she likes about the author’s work. “She wants to see what teachers are doing. She wants to see what’s really working, not just a theory.”
To that end, when gathering examples for her latest text, Honigsfeld sourced work done by students in the classroom from educators across the globe. Of the submissions sent in to her, six from Farragut Middle School were chosen to be published: four from the students in Choi’s English Language Development class and two from Choi. According to Choi, Honigsfeld’s books help her to see into other classrooms and share strategies and insights with fellow educators.
