Schools across the country are facing the growing challenges of an exploding ELL population and a scattered, ineffective system for helping non-native speakers gain English skills.
Many districts will start the next school year without an accurate count of the number of ELLs in their system and without the ability to adapt if the numbers come in above projections. Join ELL experts and linguists - along with administrators who are revolutionizing ELL instruction on the school level - and learn how to end the fire drill by creating a flexible ELL program that employs the latest technologies, enhanced teacher training and research-based language learning methods.
In this session, educators will learn:
