A consortium of educators from King and Pierce County led by Dr. Belinda Yun-Ying Louie, professor of education at the University of Washington (UW) Tacoma, received a $2 million, 5-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of English Language Acquisition.
The grant will fund a new project called Communities of Practice for Teaching English Language Learners (TELL). UW Tacoma will partner with Federal Way School Districts, Tacoma Public Schools, and other educational institutions to provide teachers specialized training to teach English as a second language.
