Sheltered Instruction Class for ELL Teachers

“Introduction To Sheltered Instruction for Teachers of ELLs” is the hottest ticket in town and we are offering training in January! Check out Heartland AEA Professional Catalog for more information to share with your staff.

The targeted audience is all educators who work with K-12 English language learners including content and grade level teachers who have NOT taken Sheltered Instruction previously.


This 2-day course will provide participants with a research-based framework to guide differentiated lesson planning, delivery and assessment that meet the needs of ELLs and other diverse learners in the mainstream or sheltered classroom. Teaching strategies and demonstrations specifically designed to facilitate simultaneous learning of language and content will be presented and demonstrated.

NOTE: Priority will be given to partner institutions within the Heartland AEA area. Des Moines Public School participants must register with the permission of Vinh Nguyen.


A stipend of $200 will be provided to participants who complete all course requirements. Details on how to receive the stipend and submit the assignment will be given at class.
