Introduce your colleagues to the different student language proficiency levels teachers may face. Showcase teaching strategies that help ELL students develop reading skills they need for subject-area learning.Demonstrate how teachers in every subject improve ELL students' writing skills. The accompanying Facilitator's Guide has agendas for seven different workshops, plus all the handouts and overheads you need, and a selection of articles you can duplicate and distribute to workshop participants.
