SCSU's TAT Program, a National Professional Development (NPD) (http://ncela.ed.gov/grants/npdp) grantee, recently launched the English Learner Curriculum Library online. With a click of a button, teachers can access over 250 instructional units, Grades K-12. Connecticut teachers modified the units to make subject content accessible to ELs. Units include lesson plans, narratives, content and language objectives, modified materials, a checklist of sheltered strategies incorporated, and the original unit as it was designed for mainstream students. Also available at this site are Country/Culture Cards, one-page descriptions of the major countries represented by the state’s ELs, with cultural and linguistic information bullets for each.

The English Learner Curriculum Library is available at http://southernct.edu/groups/tat/index.html/curriculum-library
