Planning for English Language Learners

Adapting teaching to the needs of English language learners (ELL) can be difficult for even veteran teachers. Education experts and ASCD authors Persida and William Himmele will be discussing common mistakes to avoid and ways to plan for a multilingual classroom at this year's Summer Conference.

You can get a preview of what they will be presenting at their "Purposeful Planning for Multilingual Classrooms" session by listening to this speaker spotlight. The Himmele's talk about overcoming language barriers, testing challenges, the worsening achievement gap, and what works best to improve English language learning.

Persida and William Himmele are the authors of the upcoming book "The Language-Rich Classroom: A Research-Based Framework for Teaching English Language Learners."
