Abstract

Many educators and stakeholders recognize that our English learners (ELs) need quality support. However, districts and communities, especially with a low enrollment of ELs, lack the resources necessary to fully meet the needs of ELs. There are many variables to consider when putting together a Language Instruction Educational Program (LIEP) for students who are in the process of learning English as an additional language. At the center of EL programming, high-quality, researched-based curriculum is of utmost importance, as well as adequate training and mainstream curricular implementation of English language development structure by both EL and mainstream content staff. Also included is a resource guide for EL teachers with the hope that other EL teachers who lack access to resources will be able to utilize and build their capacity of supporting ELs, especially in low enrollment settings.
