Everything you need to know about the English Language Learning (ELL) Specialists community

About

The English Language Learning (ELL) Specialists community (also known as EAL) invites experienced practitioners, those who are learning the ropes of ELL teaching, and ELL leaders within an international school to join. The intention of our community is to share our experiences, pose questions, and be supportive of others as we continue to learn and improve our practices and respective programs. As a member of this community, you have access to shared resources, can contribute your ideas, and learn from other dedicated educators on various topics related to English language learning and program development. Likely topics of discussion may include differentiated instruction, effective co-planning & co-teaching, using data to inform teaching and learning, technology in language teaching, and more! Through our discussion and sharing of resources, ELL community members will develop a sense of trust and belonging amongst colleagues within our network. Join us!
