Abstract
This project reviews the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative and the pedagogical implications for English learners (ELs). Emphasis is placed on CCSS and assessment; teachers however are not provided with tools to develop, support and prepare ELs. This project aims to provide techniques that ELs can use toward standards attainment. It emphasizes how ELs can benefit and engage in content learning with proper support. It is expected that after attending this workshop, teachers will gain the knowledge and skills to address the needs of ELs in their classrooms. The prepared project is a 4-hour training workshop including a presenter’s manual, handouts, slides, and presenter notes. Credentialed school psychologist can train a target audience of teachers working in schools. Workshop participants will better understand the implementation of Common Core State Standards for English Language Learners.
