How Are You Supporting Your General Education Teachers Working with Multilingual Learners?

If you're like many schools and districts, the honest answer may be—not enough. Yet with the rapid growth of English learners nationwide, it’s more important than ever to provide meaningful support for general content teachers—those teaching math, science, social studies, and beyond—who work with these students every day.

If you're unsure where to begin, you're not alone. That's where TESOL comes in.

Our Teacher Leadership for School-Wide English Learning (SWEL) framework is designed to empower English language teaching (ELT) professionals to become instructional leaders within their schools. Through strategic professional development and peer coaching, ELT staff can guide and support their general education colleagues to better serve multilingual learners.

SWEL isn’t just another PD—it’s a research-informed, scalable model that builds school-wide capacity and fosters sustainable collaboration across content areas. With targeted learning and collective buy-in, your team can make a lasting impact.
