As ELL student populations have dramatically increased, nearly every district now faces the challenge of successfully teaching English language learners. For many schools, the influx of English language learners occurred very quickly, leaving little time to train teachers and leaders on how to manage this acute demographic shift. Because of a lack of training, many educators are left frustrated and overwhelmed trying to meet the needs of their ELL students.
