Overview Carroll County is losing Federal and State funding for ESL classes due to low grades and slow progress. The county needs to do something to give the ESL learner a better learning experience.

The number of ESL students in public school increases every year. Table Number and percentage of public school students participating in programs for English language learners. Digest of Educational Statistics

A proven solution: Professional Development for ESL teachers.

One of the best possible solutions for Carroll County is professional development training of the ESL teacher. Research was done by Eun and Heining-Boynton (2007) to determine how professional development affects ESL teachers. Conclusion: When professional developments are used by ESL teachers there is a positive result in the learning experience that becomes even more positive if the teacher is supported by the institution.

Supporting teachers with professional development can have its problems. Complaint: It’s difficult to schedule teachers for formal training and not all teachers have the same needs. Answer : Online asynchronous training or hybrid training to minimize class time. This allow the teacher to learn and study around their work schedule. Many states such as Florida and Virginia offer online professional development for ESL teachers for free.

Engaging with other ESL teachers. Sharing of what works and what doesn’t Keeps the momentum going Online Professional Development.

One popular type of professional development is Action Research: Once a teacher is trained to conduct action research the benefits are many. Problem solving is led by individuals working with others in teams or as part of a "community of practice" to improve the way they address issues and solve problems.

Another successful type of professional development is Peer Coaching. Peer coaching involves two or more teachers. Similar to Master –Apprenticeship model. The more knowledgeable in the peer group help to teach those with lesser experience and give encouragement. Vacilotto and Cummings (2007), concluded that by pairing experienced ESL teachers with new teachers the model of peer coaching is realized and supports professional development and development of new teaching skills that help the ESL learning experience.

One more popular types of professional development training is Reflective Practices. Individually or with others. Reflect on past teaching and think critically to improve. Can be started immediately. Records are proof of professional development. Related to Action Research

Conclusion : Professional development training needs to be instituted to help improve the ESL learning experience. With a better learning experience students should progress faster and with better grades. Professional Develop does not always have to be expensive.
