English language learners (ELLs) benefit from content area instruction that is aligned to their language proficiency level. A variety of instructional strategies that assist English language learners in both language development and content acquisition are vital to implement to promote academic success. The Implementing the ELPS (English Language Proficiency Standards) in Science course will assist in understanding how to apply the ELPS cross-curricular student expectations and linguistic accommodations in a content area lesson. The integration of the ELPS in lesson planning and instructional practices to support ELL success will be addressed. Successful completion of the ELPS Academy in Project Share is the prerequisite for this course.  Please contact elpstx@esc20.info for more information.  This course is managed by Region 20 (015-950): Texas Education Service Center.
