ELL Resources

This site offers a compilation of free, scientifically based resources for state, districts, and local educators to enhance instruction. The information on hand here is broken down into the areas of literacy, mathematics, science, ELL, special education, RTI, eLearning, and federal priorities.

This Website provides information about literacy development and English language learners targeted for volunteers and tutors that work with this population of students. Sample lesson plans, games, reading strategies, and book suggestions are all here.

The English Language Learner (ELL) Overlays for English Language Arts and Mathematics are designed to assist educators in developing instructional units, lessons, or activities that are meaningful and comprehensible for English language learners. They illustrate the dynamic process of adapting instruction and assessments based on the English language proficiency of students.

The 78 strategies selected were modeled and discussed with the teachers during the practitioner-oriented courses. The GO TO Strategies was designed to be used as a resource by K-12 general education and content-area teachers with English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms, ELL teachers, special education teachers, principals and other supervisors overseeing the instruction of diverse groups of students in North Kansas City Schools and for professional development of these educators.
