CenterView: Listening to Teachers of English Language Learners
Description
Are California’s teachers up to the task of ensuring all students, including English language learners, meet the state’s high academic standards?
This issue of CenterView, produced by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning at WestEd, reviews findings from a survey of more than 5,000 California teachers. For example, teachers participate in few professional development opportunities targeted on working effectively with English language learners, despite this group comprising 25 percent of the student population.
Visit the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning at WestEd for more information about the Center and its publications.
