It will introduce the ELPD Framework, which outlines key disciplinary practices embedded in the CCSS, thus providing educators with an idea of what their students will be doing with language as they engage with content.

UNCW is offering online professional development for teachers working with English language learners. 

The ELMS Project offers a variety of professional development that include topics such as cross-cultural communication, second language acquisition, curriculum adaptation, English as a Second Language (ESL) methods, and assessment of English Language Learners (ELLs) in the mainstream classroom. By focusing on the cooperating teachers that our pre-service teachers work with, we hope to create a community of learners in which pre-service and in-service teachers scaffold their burgeoning knowledge of ELLs and ESL accommodations in the mainstream classroom.
