I'm the ESL Program Manager for the Dept of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) in Europe. We're the school system for our military members' children. Our ESL programs support ELLs in grades Pre-K to grade 12. We have several delivery models — pull-out, integrated (inclusion), and collaborative/consultative. Most of the teachers are very familiar with your website and we often use your information for parents, administrators, and for classroom teachers of ELLs. I have shared your website each year with the new early childhood (ages 3-5 yrs) teachers in our system as well. I often refer to your website in newsletters to different groups.
