This Is Exciting – New Center & Website Launched To Support Instruction For Secondary ELLs

 

The Institute of Education Sciences recently announced that they had funded WestEd to create a National Research & Development Center to Improve Education for Secondary English Learners that has already developed a website chock full of resources.

This is interesting:

The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) has awarded the University of Houston (UH) a multi-year, $10 million grant to establish a national research and development center for English learners at the University’s Texas Institute for Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics (TIMES).

I’m not sure if and how the two are doing different work.  I’ll contact IES and report back….
