TitleToolkit for Effective Instruction of English Learners
Body
From: NCELA

The "In the Classroom" Toolkit is designed to bring research and practice together for those involved in the education of culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Initiated by National Clearinghouse staff with experience in English as a second language (ESL)/bilingual classroom teaching, the project has the specific goal of making research-based lessons, activities, and curriculum accessible to all teachers of English language learners (ELLs), whether within bilingual education, ESL, or English-only settings. It is intended to be an ongoing effort. Contributions of lessons for the Toolkit are welcome.

About the toolkit areas:
A set of teaching tools/strategies accompanies each challenge. Every tool is linked to at least one lesson plan or activity illustrating its use for classroom teachers. Each lesson/activity includes information on the grade, content area, and challenge addressed. Lessons in the Toolkit reflect the PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE PRACTICE for educating limited English proficient (LEP) students developed by the Center for Equity and Excellence in Education at The George Washington University and the CHECKLIST FOR EFFECTIVE PRACTICE with English Learners provided by Freeman and Freeman (1999). The Toolkit can be viewed as the practical extension of broad recommendations made by these two resources.
