"Teaching Diverse Learners" was developed as part of the National Leadership Area for the 2000-2005 Northeast and Islands Regional Educational Laboratory (LAB), a program of The Education Alliance at Brown University. The goal of this site is to help teachers work effectively and equitably with English language learners (ELLs) by providing access to research-based information, strategies, and resources for addressing the concerns of ELLs in the classroom and beyond.
ELLs -- also referred to as bilingual, culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD), language minority, and Limited English Proficient (LEP) students -- are speakers of languages and dialects other than English and members of ethno-linguistic minority cultures and communities. Many thousands of ELLs continue to be denied opportunities for an excellent and equitable education.
This Web site addresses educators of culturally and linguistically diverse learners, invites the perspectives of teachers and language minority learners, and provides research-based practices at both the classroom and systemic level that promote high achievement for linguistically diverse students.
Practices, strategies, and resources will be highlighted for the areas of:
