The research says...
English language/Multilingual learners are the fastest-growing population in U.S. schools today.
New York State has the third-highest population of children of immigrant families, and the fourth-highest population of school-aged ELLs/MLLs.
Yet...
Most teachers, especially general education and content area teachers, received little or no training in teaching ELLs/MLLs in their pre-service teacher preparation programs.
Most school administrators have had little or no training in leading schools with ELLs/MLLs.
ELL/MLL students bring a wealth of diverse knowledgeÂ
and experiences to our schools, yet they remainÂ
an underserved population with many and various academic and social needs that schools are responsible for addressing.
Let us help you to create a welcoming environment, provide best instructional practices, and find success for your ELLs/MLLs!
