Abstract: This evaluation of WestEd’s Quality Teaching for English Learners (QTEL) professional development program is a cluster random assignment evaluation. This study is part of the U.S. Department of Education’s Regional Educational Laboratory Program. The QTEL program equips secondary teachers to provide challenging tasks and scaffold student learning to advance development of academic language. This study will be conducted in school districts in San Diego County. It will include at least 50 middle schools that have large numbers of English Language Learners (ELL) . The study will use a three-year longitudinal design to track program effects on teacher knowledge, teacher practice, and student English reading and writing skills.
