  Empowering English Language Learners Using the Breaking Ranks Framework, presented by Bill Truesdale, principal of Douglas Taylor Elementary School, Chicago, IL, and Bonnie Zambrano, a bilingual lead teacher at Douglas Taylor. This webinar will examine the success of the English language learner (ELL) program at Douglas Taylor, a MetLife Foundation-NASSP Breakthrough School with 97% or more of its students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch. The presentation will begin with a discussion of the committed teachers Truesdale and Zambrano refer to as "language detectives" who know the professional tools, clues, and resources required to "solve the learning case." Then, the presenters will discuss how they begin the ELL process by making participants feel uninhibited and accepted, and how they strengthen the program using strategies such as cooperative grouping and simple matching activities.

Topics covered in NASSP's webinars include principal training and evaluation; teacher recruitment, training and evaluation; the use of technology in schools; and more. If you have a topic for a webinar you'd like to suggest, feel free to email us at webinar@nassp.org.
