English Language Learners in the Classroom (5 Hours)

English Language Learners in the Classroom (5 Hours)

This course draws on the Science of Reading to provide evidence-based approaches for teaching English Language Learners. It emphasizes explicit, systematic instruction in foundational literacy skills — such as phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension — while recognizing the unique linguistic and cultural assets ELLs bring to the classroom.

Discover techniques for creating a culturally responsive learning environment that values and incorporates students' diverse backgrounds. Gain practical approaches to support ELLs as they navigate the challenges of adapting to a new culture, addressing language disabilities, and managing related stress. Learn how to assess their specific language learning needs, tailor instruction, and provide scaffolding to help them develop both academic language and reading proficiency. 

Online self-study PD courses help teachers complete continuing education requirements.

  • I had a question regarding completion of course and the inability to print off the certificate. The tech got back to me within hours, was able to answer my questions, and did a couple beneficial rearranging of courses. As it turned out, I hadn't completed the course so I was able to complete it and go on to the next course. I don't know what I would have done with out PLB. I am thankful!!!
