Abstract
This capstone aims to support teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs) as well as ELLs
themself. A growing number of ELLs in the Patchogue Medford School District are impacted by
the lack of bilingual teachers, which may result in strained interpersonal connections, linguistic
inadequacies, and the replacement of experienced teachers. The issue of teacher retention will be
explored, along with solutions such as college courses and professional development sessions, in
an effort to lessen it. A professional development program is designed for all elementary teachers
within the Patchogue Medford School District to attend called Patchogue Medford
Bilingual/TESOL Superheroes. The teachers in this professional development learn more about
the background of the school community with ELLs, strategies to help them with reading, and
ideas to promote inclusivity in the district. Recommendations include incorporating additional
events for teachers in the school district such as workshops, training, and meetings on ways to
support ELLs in the classroom. Furthermore, programs recently established such as the
Patchogue Medford Bilingual/TESOL Superheroes professional development, should be received
and modified to assist with any necessary changes for greater improvement.
