Abstract

This study is situated in an educational context where secondary Latinx English learners’ enrollment has dramatically increased. However, many face limited access to quality education and lack the skills to be college and career-ready. To tackle this problem, the English Language Development–Content-Based Teaching and Learning (ELD–CBTL) model is designed and implemented to help shift teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and practices of using appropriate ELD strategies in a career academy to ELs. The ELD–CBTL model is rooted in the teacher change theory and aligned with the California Principles of the English Learner Roadmap, which included professional development on ELD, ELD instructional training, and coaching support. Findings show that the participating teachers’ self-efficacy shifted when they applied the instructional skills, which made them more confident with providing rigorous EL content that meets the requirements for college admission.
