English Language Learners are no longer confined to just a few states, but can be found in just about every classroom. Without strong reading skills, ELLs will never develop to their fullest potential and are at greater risk for dropping out of school. Many ELLs don't fully develop their literacy skills in the elementary grades or begin their schooling in middle or high school. And most mainstream teachers don't have the training and preparation to teach language minority students. Calder³n provides assistance to teachers who struggle with the question of how to appropriately present complex subject matter to students who are just learning to speak English. With funding from the Carnegie Corporation and the US Department of Education, Calder³n and her associated developed the ExCELL (Expediting Comprehension for English Language Learners) model. From this successful program they created the ExC-ELL Observation Protocol'a tool for planning content lessons, coaching by literacy coaches not familiar with ELL instruction; supervision by administrators; teacher self-reflection; peer coaching; and conducting classroom research. This practical guide is full of ready-to-use tools, including:lesson templates rubrics,sample lesson plans in mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies descriptions of successful programsprofessional development designs This book is designed for middle & high school teachers of English, science, math, & social studies who teach one or more ELLs. Middle and high school principals, literacy coaches, content curriculum specialists, and central office administrators will find this to be a useful tool in raising the achievement of ELLs.

Industry Reviews

"Teaching Reading to English Learners, Grades 6-12, is useful for any secondary teacher who works with English learners, but what makes it unique is its upbeat tone, high and loving expectations for all English learners, and empathy for the challenges they face. Calderonand Slakk help teachers believe in their students, which is essential to teach them. It is rare that a textbook is such a pleasure to read." -- Robert E. Slavin, Director of the Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University and Institute for Effective Education at the University of York
