Fourth in a series of state publications providing suggestions to school districts for serving limited-English-proficient (LEP) students, the handbook on teacher training outlines the characteristics necessary for mainstream, English as a second language (ESL), or bilingual program teachers of LEP students, in-service and preservice training requirements for this group, and design considerations for school district training programs. Substantial appended materials include: notes on the knowledge, abilities, and attitudes necessary in these teachers; National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification supplemental standards for teachers of LEP students; a comparison of bilingual/bicultural, ESL, foreign language, and mainstream teacher education standards; a sampling of common research themes across disciplines; a Lancaster (Pennsylvania) school district workshop schedule; suggestions for in-service training program planning; and a list of additional resources.
