Help All Students Succeed
Miami faculty are in the forefront of preparing schools to address the challenge of teaching the growing number of students from families who may not speak English at home.
A $1.5 million five-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of English Language Acquisition is being used to enhance the preparation of teachers who work with English language learners in mainstream classrooms throughout Ohio.
Starting with introductory courses, all teacher education majors at Miami will receive instruction on how to integrate English for speakers of other languages into their classrooms. In the past, only language teachers have received training in working with such students.
The goal of the grant is to develop an instructional model that can be used across Ohio, said Carine Feyten, dean of the School of Eduction, Health and Society and grant recipient.
