Professional Development: English Language Learners

Doing What Works is a federal initiative to disseminate research based best practices in education.  There are several parts to the resource, including a newly developed digital workshop with a focus on English Language Learners which accompanies the ELL segment on the main web site. The site provides research supporting best practices as well as the top 5 most effective instructional strategies, presented in a variety of formats with accompanying resource materials.

Each of the 5 strategies is discussed in a tri-part format: Learn What Works, See How It Works and Do What works so that educators can understand the underlying pedagogy as well as learn how it may be successfully implemented. Tools to facilitate integration of the strategies are also included.

 Resource materials for the English Language Learners digital workshop are available at: http://www.t2tweb.us/doingwhatworks/Workshop_01/resources/downloads/DWW_handouts.pdf
