An Emergent Bilingual (EB) student is a student who is in the process of acquiring English and has another language as the student's primary or home language.
In Texas, EB's encompass more than 20% of the student population, ranking first from the top 10 states in the nation with highest EB enrollment.
The Center for Excellence in Education of Diverse Students, through the Bilingual/ESL Program at Region One Education Service Center, provide Bilingual/ESL instructional coaching to Local Education Agencies.
This researched based Bilingual/ESL instructional coaching design supports EB educators with high yield sheltered instruction strategies to ensure the cognitive, linguistic, and affective development of more than 160,000 EB students.
The Bilingual/ESL instructional coach and teacher work in partnership through face to face and/or virtual learning to reflect on teaching practices that enhance planning, instructional delivery, student engagement, achievement, EBs’ English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and increase equity for all EBs in our region.
