Description
With English learners projected to make up a quarter of the public school population by 2025, it’s vital that all teachers — not just ESL teachers — become proficient in instructional methods that allow English learners to progress academically while developing proficiency in English.
This course, taught by Allison Hand, introduces participants to Sheltered Instruction, which uses course content as a vehicle for teaching language and which is considered to be an essential component of any program for English learners. Ms. Hand answers the following questions about Sheltered Instruction:
Who are our English learners?
- What is Sheltered Instruction?
- Why do we use Sheltered Instruction in all classrooms?
- What are the goals of Sheltered Instruction?
- How do people acquire a second language?
- How do I apply this information in my classroom?

This was a great course. I have sat through similar courses that took eight hours, yet this one explained the same thing in one hour.
