Debbie Diller, author of the book Literacy Work Stations, takes you into two primary classrooms to demonstrate how to create a thriving stations program.

The AB 1059 legislation requires that all new teachers in California be prepared to teach English language learners in their classrooms. The modules address theories, methods and techniques for instructing English language learners in bilingual, sheltered immersion and mainstream classrooms.
