Effective Literacy and English Language Instruction for English Learners in the Elementary Grades
This IES guide, which was developed by a panel of experts, is intended to bring the best available evidence and expertise to bear on the challenge of providing effective literacy instruction for English learners in the elementary grades. Although the target audience is a broad spectrum of school practitioners such as administrators, curriculum specialists, coaches, staff development specialists and teachers, the more specific objective is to reach district-level administrators with a Practice Guide that will help them develop practice and policy options for their schools. The Guide offers five specific recommendations for district administrators and indicates the quality of the evidence that supports these recommendations. visit the IES guide
