Learning differences (differentiated instruction)

Contextualized instruction for all levels of proficiency (learners needs + cultural context) we can tie it to Civics + provide lesson plans and resources

Basic pronunciation standards - when to correct learners

PD on basic language learning process (so that teachers are aware of the stages, and avoid teacher fatigue)

Bilingualism in classroom (language choices of the teacher)

Linking language unit to all four skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening

Perhaps do a flex model in a place like Dallas, then open it to the state.
