The Center for English Language Education (CELE) specializes in customized consulting, coaching, and professional development services and solutions for districts, organizations, and agencies. Specifically, CELE focuses on student evaluation and performance, curriculum development and delivery, active parent engagement, and programming that is aligned with state and national standards and regulations.
CELE understands that:
- Learning is a sociocultural process. High-quality lessons are connected to students’ lives in a way that propels and compels their investment and interest in learning.
- Learning is a developmental process. High-quality learning environments take into account the English language and literacy development of students.
- Learning is an academic process. Determining what students need to learn and how to help them learn it are key elements for creating optimal learning environments.
- Learning is a cognitive process. Teaching higher-order thinking skills is an essential practice in creating high-quality learning environments.1
Our expert consultants have many years of experience in the classroom evaluating English learners and their instructional programming, and conducting teacher trainings and graduate courses. They work closely with CELE Director Dr. Debbie Zacarian to provide the highest quality professional development courses, trainings, and services.
