Abstract
The goal of this professional development is to provide general education teachers, special education teachers, and TESOL teachers with the information they need in order to support ENL students with disabilities in a K-12 classroom. This research and professional development analyzes the various methods that educators can implement in the classroom in order to provide accommodations and modifications to support this demographic of students. The professional development will educate all teachers on their legal responsibilities that are tied to Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) as well as how to read them. This will help educators when lesson planning to ensure all student’s needs are met. Additionally, the professional development will educate all teachers on the different levels of English proficiency levels and how to provide for their needs. This includes ensuring ENL students are receiving the testing accommodations they are legally required to have in conjunction with testing accommodations per what is specified on their IEP. Lastly, the professional development will cover accommodations for students using current technology that is aligned with content specific courses offered at a 5th and 6th grade level. All in all, this research allows teachers to understand how they can best support ENL students with disabilities in their classroom.
