Body
Stanford University and WestEd are excited to announce a live, e-Institute: “Leadership Institute on English Language Learners: Aligning Theory, Policy, and Practice.”

Kenji Hakuta and Guadalupe Valdés of Stanford University and Robert Linquanti of WestEd are nationally recognized experts in the field of English Language Learner (ELL) Education. Join these engaging experts live online to learn how to most effectively support ELLs’ language development and academic achievement, with a focus on practical applications for improving local and state ELL educational policies, systems and practices.

The institute includes a series of nine webinars, Thursdays between 10:30am – 12:00pm Pacific (1:30pm – 3:00pm Eastern), from March 25th to May 20th 2010. Participants will strengthen their understanding of foundational issues in the effective education of ELLs, explore established and emerging research evidence and practices on the most challenging areas facing educators and policymakers, such as ELLs’ linguistic development; academic growth and achievement; and assessment/accountability aimed at improving educator capacity and performance, and leave with practical ideas that can inform the development of ELL master plans and school and district improvement plans.
