This project:
1) developed an explicit model of sheltered instruction;
2) used that model in four large urban districts to train teachers in effective sheltered strategies; and
3) conducted field experiments and collected data to evaluate teacher change as well as the effects of sheltered instruction on LEP students' reading achievement and English language development.
