About us

TeachELD is proud to work with Jeannie London, Ed.D., a full-time teacher working public education in Northern California. Dr. London has taught in general public elementary and secondary education for more than 20 years. Dr. London specialized in ESL [English as a Second Language]/ELD [English Language Development] and bilingual programs. She holds endorsements in ESL/ESOL, Reading and Administration as well as general education. Advanced degrees include a M.A. in Multicultural Education, and a doctorate from the University of San Francisco in International Multicultural Education with a minor in Organizational Leadership. Dr. London is chronicling her experiences in instruction, delivery and content development.

Correctly assess and evaluate language learner proficiency levels in targeted language, match appropriate instructional needs of language learner abilities, vary methods of instructional practice to meet group and individual needs, review and use data driven instructional practices to improve overall delivery and performance.

TeachELD.org provides support to teachers in integrating ELD instruction into their daily practices for ELL students. As a result, several frameworks can support teachers who integrate ELD into their lesson planning. Content development focuses on what is taught as aligned to the Common Core States Standards. How the content is taught is the delivery method or strategy. Classroom management and organization are . Student internal and external motivation forces must be considered in lesson organization and in building classroom communities. TeachELD believes in all of the elements which are necessary when developing teaching skills leading to positive instructional outcomes.

This is a well-written, but more importantly, a very accurate and authentic description of “Brown Boys”. I have worked with this population of students for 19 years as an ESL/ELD teacher, at both the elementary and middle school levels. I appreciate your honesty and opinions that we, as teachers, have a very important role in demonstrating to our students that they “matter”.

-Tracy Burford,  Forest Grove, Oregon

Innovative, professional and caring, she provides exceptional educational experience. She is an advocate for all students.

-Joelyne Taylor, Forest Grove, Oregon

She shed light in the darkness in the minds that are in need of educational guidance. Her hard work paves a smooth road for those who need educational direction by understanding how to analyze and evaluate specific needs on an individual basis. Those individuals will rise above through gaining knowledge they would not have been so fortunate had they not had the experience of knowing their true potential if you had not created such a safe and friendly learning environment.
