Background
Classroom teachers across the country are struggling to find ways to meet the needs of non-English, limited English, and proficient English speakers within a single curriculum. This often calls for adaptation of existing lessons or the creation of new materials, tasks that are often challenging and time consuming.

In Arizona, for instance, Proposition 203 demands that all instruction be performed in English in an effort to ensure that non- and limited English students learn English efficiently. Issues similar to these are topics of interest in Colorado, California, and Massachusetts, and more and more non-English speaking students are being mainstreamed into the classroom.

To cope with the challenges surrounding this issue, Six Steps to ELL Lesson Design was created.

This site was created as our course project for EDT 528: Web-Based Instruction at Arizona State University. The need for ELL lesson design was evident from the complaints of administrators and educators alike in the Glendale School Dsitrict.

Technology
This site uses html and scripts that work best in IE 6 and Netscape 6, or later versions. It was designed for viewing at 800 x 600 resolution. Six Steps to ELL Lesson Design was created primarily with Macromedia Dreamweaver.

Thanks!
We would like to thank all who supported the creation of this site and its materials, including: the class of EDT 528 Fall 2002, Glendale School District, Christy Keeler at the University of Oregon, Gamze Ozogul (for her portrayal of Jo), and loved ones who sat without us as we worked long hours on this site.
