According to the Brookings Institution, the number of English learners (ELs) in U.S. public schools has grown by roughly 60 percent over the last decade. While the level of diversity they have brought us holds plenty of potential value for all students, we are not yet able to capitalize on that, as many English learners are not enrolled in schools with teachers who have been given the sufficient preparation and training to teach them.
Listen to Dr. John Nelson, former Assistant Superintendent of the Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) in Southern California, where more than a third of the district’s 30,000 K-6 students are classified as English learners, for an engaging edWeb podcast about how to help all educators support multilingual students.
School and district leaders learn how to improve outcomes by:
- Supporting collaborative academic planning efforts across subject areas
- Providing ongoing professional development with an EL emphasis
- Embedding coaching around understanding the language development needs of students learning English as a new language
This recorded edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 school and district leaders, teachers, librarians, and education technology leaders.
Together, unlocking potential and accelerating learning for every student
