CSMlearn is seeking an ESL expert consultant. We’re applying for a grant to add ESL capabilities the existing CSM Course – this will personalize instruction in Spanish-English ESL, while also building academic content skills in math, literacy, and problem-solving.  The primary technique involved will be to maintain the student at their Zone of Proximal Development simultaneously in both content and language. The project is targeted at high schoolers and adults with Intermediate to Advanced ELL. 

We’re looking for one or more consultants with deep knowledge of ESL theory (and knowledge of Content-Based Instruction would be a plus), or experience with the implementation of ESL curriculum (especially technology-based) in secondary schools, postsecondary education or adult education. Academics, expert practitioners, others – are all welcome.

The first phase of this work will involve a few hours per month (approximately 20 hours) for 2020, and will be compensated at your typical consultancy rates. Please send us a resume, and if possible, a paragraph describing how you think that you can contribute. We’re working against a tight grant deadline, and so a quick reply is appreciated.
