Instruction of English learners is challenging. Teachers have to implement research-based strategies at every tier to ensure that they develop oral language proficiency and literacy skills. They also have to implement accommodations and design learning to make sure instruction is accessible and equitable.
School psychologists can facilitate oral language proficiency and literacy skills through a multi-tiered system of supports. Only if exclusionary factors have been ruled out, school psychologists can make recommendations for specialized instruction. In this course, you will learn the skills you need to consult with teachers and help students with oral language proficiency and literacy skills.
The National Association of School Psychologists indicates that all school psychologists can work with bilingual students. We all need to learn how to provide equitable services to ensure equitable outcomes. Let's do it!

I find language acquisition fascinating and really enjoyed this. I have an interest in reading and how children learn to read and acquire language and got many helpful interventions from today. You have a wealth of knowledge. Thanks.

I appreciated digging deeper in the elements of reading. It was very helpful to understand from an EL perspective and identify barriers/differences. Instructional strategies were extremely helpful! I look forward to assisting my teachers in providing effective instructional practices.
