ESOL Expo Presentations

 

[In other countries] school leaders arrange for teams of teachers to meet regularly to create—to craft and refine—lessons and teaching units until they have the maximum impact on student learning. When a lesson works well, educators publish it (in books you can buy in convenience stores). Practitioners provide demonstration lessons for other teachers at “lesson fairs.” These fairs represent professional development at its best—conducted by professionals themselves (109-­‐110).

All of the sessions at the ESOL Expo were developed and facilitated by current Philadelphia School District teachers.  Please continue to develop and share instructional strategies that support ELLs with members in your professional learning communities.
