Sadler, Randall Yan, Xun Kearfott, Hana Elise 2019-02-07T20:44:25Z 2019-02-07T20:44:25Z 2021-02-08T10:15:25Z 2018-12-10 2018-12 The purpose of this project is to develop a practical website for elementary teachers of English learners (ELs). Initial research states ELs are the fastest growing population in k-12 education in the U.S., revealing a need for teacher access to effective materials and a community of support and collaboration. Existing websites are evaluated to assess the gap in features of these resources and how to move forward in website development. In addition, in-service elementary EL teachers are surveyed to establish teacher opinion for an online resource and influence web design and available content. Finally, based on the research phases of the project, a website for teachers that promotes a space for community connection, collaboration, and the sharing of teaching materials is designed, developed and launched: EL LaunchPad.
