Guide English Language Learners to Academic Success

The demand for English as a Second Language teachers in early elementary grades continues to rise as children who speak a language besides English in their homes increases annually. Students of all ages and linguistic backgrounds are in need of additional help to master the English language to ensure their academic success in school.
