This link takes you to one core location where you can access Texas Gateway, the ELPS Academy, ELL Foundations, and an overview of Sheltered Instruction.
It is no better or worse than the individual links, but some people like to see things in isolation while others like to see a more comprehensive view. Please check out one of these online resources as a form of self growth, reflection, and learning.
Keep in mind, we expect our students to be continual learners, so we must model that mentality. Whenever I found a really useful training, I would attend it at least twice to really learn from it. Whenever I found a really boring and seemingly unusefull training, I would try to find something that I could take from it and manipulate to work in my classroom or to change my line of thinking. So, while many of you have seen, heard, and read about the ELPs repeatedly, there is always something to be gained or remembered.
