Montana ESL

Purpose: 

Over the summer of 2008, a state task force came together to begin building a framework for ongoing, systemic professional development for ESL instructors. This work is being made possible through support from the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAELA). On July 23-24,  two representatives from the CAELA Network spent time helping the Montana team determine how to begin our professional development plan for ESL instruction.
