If we’re to counter the commonly held narrative of predictable failure among our English learners, then every teacher, every coach, every administrator must have an expert’s understanding of the conditions, tools, and strategies that best support English language development together with content mastery. Put simply: It takes a school . . . plus a professional learning plan steeped in evidence.
Where’s that plan and what’s that proof? Just ask Margarita Calderón, who has already trained almost 100,000 educators across the U.S. No other ELD consultant can boast a program with such extensive empirical testing—including an endorsement from What Works Clearinghouse—nor such a proven track record for success.
Founder of ExC-ELL, Margarita Calderón is one of the field’s top authorities on how to expedite ELs’ comprehension. For over 25 years she has been conducting research on English language learners and professional development for content, EL, special education, and bilingual teachers and administrators. Margarita is Professor Emerita/Senior Research Scientist at Johns Hopkins University.
