      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Teaching Reading to Limited English Proficient Students

Module by: Linda Edgar-Creighton

Summary: Rural schools are schools located in rural areas with a population of less than 2,500 as defined by the Department of Education, Bureau of the Census (National Education Association [NEA], 2004) and face unique challenges for developing programs to serve the linguistic and cultural needs of English Language Learners (ELLs): (1) limited experience with ELLs; (2) a shortage of certified English as a Second Language (ESL) and/or bilingual teachers; (3) a shortage of translators with the proficiency to speak, read, or write in the students’ home language; and (4) limited curriculum materials in the students’ first language.
