Are you struggling
to find a place for ELD in the ever-changing language arts curricula?
It's not your fault!!
The big-box curriculum companies tell districts that their products contain English learner components and support, but they rarely provide enough support—especially for beginning English speakers. You want to be a team player, but you're struggling to find opportunities for ELD.

The overwhelm...
- I don’t know what my role is in literacy instruction, but I’m pretty sure it’s not what I’m doing now
- I don’t feel useful.
- I don’t have the information or confidence to advocate what I feel/know I should be doing.
- I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and guilty when I see my students’ literacy scores.
- I want new ideas, but I don’t have time to learn or implement a lot of new tricks.
What if...
...you could implement a lesson plan protocol that results in less anxiety, reclaims your time, and maximizes your effectiveness so that you can show up confident and reclaim your evenings and weekends.
Imagine the sheer relief that washes over you when you finally have a reliable literacy lesson planning protocol. Picture your students lighting up confidently as they dive into reading and writing, no longer met with the dreaded moans and groans. Instead, you hear their laughter and eagerness to learn, filling your heart with joy and pride
With this protocol, you’ll feel an exhilarating rush of accomplishment—like a triumphant cheer of “Woohoo, that was amazing! I’ve got this!” It’s a tool that transforms your teaching experience, requiring only a fraction of the time you used to spend on planning. No more endless hours crafting materials!
Imagine you step into the classroom with excitement, ready to inspire, knowing you’ve unlocked a world where learning thrives, and both you and your students can celebrate every success together.
Who is this for?
* The English language development teacher will significantly benefit from these strategies, which can be applied in small group instruction and integrated into co-teaching within the content classroom.
* Our content teachers will find value in ideas for embedding language and literacy growth into any content area. This will encourage the development of content knowledge and critical thinking while boosting language and literacy.

About The Facilitator
Hey there! I’m Kelly Reider, the founder of English Learner Portal. With 30 years in public education (I know, it sounds like a long time, but it flew by and never a dull moment!), I’ve worn quite a few hats—consultant, district ESL program coordinator, school admin, instructional specialist, ESL, and classroom teacher. So, I've pretty much seen what you are experiencing.
I’ve also had the chance to lead workshops around the globe and was once a WIDA Certified Facilitator (yep, I love this stuff, a total language nerd). I hold a TESOL ELT Leadership Management Certificate and I’m also a National Board Certified Early Childhood Generalist. My heart and soul? Helping others scaffold instruction, develop language and literacy skills, and design curriculum that actually works - watching sstudents and teachers shine. I geek out over system-level program planning and evaluation, too (but don’t worry, I make it reasonable and fun!).
I have a Master’s in Instructional Systems Development, and I’m certified in Elementary Ed, Spanish, ESOL, and School Admin. Basically, if it’s about learning and language, I’m your person!
My 100% Money Back Guarantee to You
