In this Webinar

The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act puts an even greater focus on ELLs because both their achievement and their progress toward English proficiency are included in accountability measures. That means teachers of every subject and at every grade level need to know how to help their ELLs reach full academic English proficiency as quickly as possible while learning important content along the way. Using research as well as examples from years of classroom observations, author of the ASCD book Dispelling Misconceptions About English Language Learners: Research-Based Ways to Improve Instruction, Barbara Gottschalk will give educators the knowledge they need to add to the experience they already have with English language learners.

About the presenter

Barbara Gottschalk, as a full-time, in-the-trenches educator, taught English language learners from first graders to graduate students in five states in three very different parts of the United States. After teaching English in Japan early in her career, she earned an M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) as well as an MBA.

She was an invited speaker on ELL issues for the 30th Annual High Schools That Work Development Conference and has presented numerous times at the International TESOL conference and at conferences for state affiliates MITESOL, Ohio TESOL, and Kansas TESOL. A two-year stint representing English language learner interests as one of 160 fellows in America Achieves, a national educator organization, elevated her voice further. Gottschalk wrote and implemented many successful grants for her school and has served as a grant reviewer for TESOL, her professional organization, as well as for the U.S. Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition. Her first book, Get Money for Your Classroom: Easy Grant Writing Ideas that Work, was published by Routledge in 2017.
