There is an evident need for teacher preparation programs to offer pre-service and new teachers’ effective strategies and tools to ensure ELLs academic success. The increasing number of ELLs in our schools only increases this demand. The overarching question is how can new teachers build capacity to gain the knowledge and methods needed to ensure academic success for ELLs? The research in this literature review focuses on the tools and strategies that both new and in-service teachers can use to build capacity in which they can effectively teach ELLs. The PD created offers research-based strategies and tools which focus on teacher collaboration, multimodal learning, classroom management, equity, inclusion, and having empathy. The most important aspects of these categories have been condensed for easier understanding and immediate implementation into their classrooms. The educational success of ELLs depends on teachers’ being able to support their linguistic and academic needs effectively.
