Ep. 5 But what about the ELPS?

Welcome to Let Them See You, the podcast that honors educators—the everyday heroes shaping futures with courage and heart. I’m your host, Sarah Hightower. This is your space to recharge, find joy, and embrace your power.

In this episode, we discuss the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) and how they support academic language growth and content understanding. We also have our next guest, Dr. Stephen Fleenor. Stephen Fleenor is a scientist-turned-educator who is inspired by the principles of sheltered instruction and growth mindset, particularly in the advancement of academic language in content-area classrooms. As the Chief Digital Officer at Seidlitz Education, Stephen drives development of language-rich digital resources for content-area teachers, including production of instructional technologies and, most notably, The Visual Non-Glossary (http://www.thevisualnonglossary.com). He is also the author of Teaching Science to English Learners with Tina Beene. Stephen also holds a PhD in Developmental Biology from Oxford University and a Masters in School Leadership from the University of the Incarnate Word.
