Kelly and her team at English Learner Portal have been a Godsend! Over the past couple of years, our district has enrolled many teachers in Pathway courses and Praxis Coaching workshops--all of which have resulted in many gen ed teachers and administrators obtaining ESOL certification. English Learner Portal is bookmarked on my computer as a favorite.
