Calderón (education, Johns Hopkins U.) provides a model based on professional development programs she conducted with colleagues to help teachers and principals address the language, literacy, and content instructional needs of English learners and frame instruction within effective schooling structures and implementation of response to intervention (RTI). She explains how the model helps schools attain faster and more effective results for all students by promoting a whole-school approach and integrating language, literacy, and content. She discusses different categories of English learners and programs meant to address their needs; the elements of RTI that can help; interventions in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade; teaching reading comprehension, reading, and writing; assessment; and the use of cooperative learning.
