ESL Praxis Prep and Coaching Cohort
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.

I have had the pleasure of working with their team for several years. I have consistently been impressed with their ability to integrate adult learning principles and research-based strategies that improve outcomes for English learners. They prioritize active participation, hands-on learning experiences, and reflection, all of which have been shown to be effective in adult learning.

They guide teachers towards working with multilingual learners. Kelly was flexible and responsive to our needs. EL Portal is connected to the top names in our field in terms of theory and practice in working with MLs. When we began working with them, we knew we would be getting the very best guidance and training.
