This project aims to support teachers and staff members who work closely with English Language Learners (ELLs). The need for teachers who have background, training, and knowledge in educating incoming language learners has increased substantially. This is due to the growing ELL student population in the United States. Many educators experience a sense of unpreparedness in their ability to educate and support incoming language learners. This feeling stems from their inadequate training and education in working with English Language Learners (ELLs). Therefore, educators may feel discouraged or frustrated when faced with the task of teaching incoming language learners. In the Kings Park School District, staff members are not provided with professional development opportunities, training, or teacher preparation programs regarding working with ELLs. In this project, a professional development is designed to support ELL students and teachers. Recommendations include incorporating additional school events, where families can be included and involved in their child's learning experience, where also teachers can connect with students’ families and home-lives.Accessibility Statement
