ESL Award 2007

We are proud to announce that Christel Broady is the recipient of the ESL Recognition Award for her project, Redefining the Role of ESL Professionals in Schools to Better Serve Immigrant Children and Families.  In the next five years, five cohorts of classroom teachers will be trained as teacher leaders in the area of ESL.  Their role is that of a role model for other classroom teachers.  The teachers will conduct training for colleagues.  They will also aid Georgetown College’s initial teacher program to infuse ESL content knowledge in all undergraduate training for all areas and disciplines.  Georgetown College’s professors teaching methods courses will receive training in ESL to implement into their syllabi.  Teacher Participants will accept undergraduate pre-service teachers for observations, practicum, and student teaching.  The teachers will also create video productions in their classroom of best practice.  The videos will then be published on the web for the entire state.
