Abstract
This paper examines the growing need to rethink the ways in which professional
development is provided for those who teach English language learners. It documents
the two-year experience of a team of seven elementary school educators (mainstream,
ESL, speech clinician, paraprofessional) who participated in a newly designed
professional development project to provide best practices for these learners in their
school. Resulting comments by these educators reflect increased personal growth,
professional success, and a renewed commitment to a more collaborative approach to
professional development that is long-term, site-based, and student-focused.
