Overview
English learners (ELs) arrive at school with unique proficiency levels and content competencies, cultural and educational backgrounds, and instructional needs. In this book, the authors share research-based strategies preK–12 administrators and teacher leaders can implement to effectively identify and support ELs. They outline what educators must consider as they renovate their EL program and its instructional components, as well as define the many EL-related terms and concepts teacher leaders must know to make this a reality. Each chapter ends with discussion questions readers should share with staff or team members to promote EL success schoolwide.
