At high schools with significant ELL populations, ELL Teacher / Facilitators collaborate with teachers to develop strategies for accommodating ELL students in mainstream classrooms. They provide information on effective methods and materials for use with ELLs. The ELL Teacher/Facilitator also helps determine appropriate scheduling and class placements for ELLs.
