SchoolsMovingUp is once again excited to bring you a webinar series focused on English language learners, with nationally recognized researchers and professional development providers speaking on topics covered in the recent publication from the California Department of Education, titled Improving Education for English Learners: Research-Based Approaches. The presenters will review their respective chapters and the implications for educators and administrators. This timely series begins in October 2010 and runs through February 2011.

The first webinar in the series will feature Diane August, Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Applied Linguistics; and Timothy Shanahan, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, presenting the research basis for effective English literacy instruction for English learners. They will discuss guidelines for teaching literacy to English learners and will provide some examples of how schools and districts are utilizing these principles to implement effective English learner programs.
