TAT Program, a NPD grantee funded by the US Dept. of Education/OELA, has recently launched the on-line English Learner Curriculum Library. With a click of a button, teachers can access over 250 instructional units, grades K-12. These units have been modified
by Connecticut teachers to make subject content accessible to ELs. Units include lesson plans, narratives, content and language objectives, modified materials, a checklist of incorporated sheltered strategies, and the original unit as it was designed for
mainstream students. Also available at this site are Country/Culture Cards, a one-page descriptor of cultural and linguistic information bullets for each of the major countries represented by our ELs. In our first eight months, we've had over 6000 visitors
download the instructional units!<span> </span>You can access this library online at:
