New! Course Crafters/EMR National Survey of ELL Student and Teacher Materials

Course Crafters, in cooperation with Education Market Research (EMR), recently conducted a ten-state market survey of mainstream classroom teachers, ESL/bilingual teachers, principals, and supervisors, to determine current usage and future needs of instructional materials for English Language Learners (ELLs), grades K-5 and 6-12.

The survey results answer the following questions and more:

• How are ELLs taught subject-area content to meet the requirements of NCLB?
• What are the grade and subject-specific challenges of ELLs and their teachers?
• What materials are teachers using for ELLs?
• What can be done to make subject-area content and textbooks more usable for ELLs?
• What program features and components are most important in terms of influencing educators to choose one ELL product over another?
• Who makes the purchasing decisions with respect to ELL materials?
• Where does the funding come from for ELL instructional materials?
• What are the future needs in terms of effective instructional materials for ELLs?
• The survey report also estimates the current (2004-2005) school-year spending in grades K-12 on all ELL instructional materials.
