Every Teacher-A Teacher of English Language Learners

Featuring Jo Gusman, Mary Anne Christison, and Margo Gottlieb

Over the past several years, the student population of English language learners has increased dramatically. Districts in states without historically large numbers of English language learners have suddenly found themselves faced with the challenging task of teaching a massive influx of students with limited English. In addition, federal legislation places a heavy mandate upon states, districts, and schools to ensure ELL students quickly reach grade level standards.

For these reasons and at the request of educators around the country, the School Improvement Network has produced The Video Journal of Education DVD/VHS program Every Teacher-A Teacher of English Language Learners.

Benefits of Every Teacher-A Teacher of English Language Learners:
  • Reach federal standards by showing teachers research-based instructional strategies that are proven to be effective with English language learners.
