Infusing English Language Learner Issues Throughout Professional Educator Curricula: The Training All Teachers Project by Carla Meskill — 2005The federally funded Training All Teachers (TAT) project is an innovative program of curricular enhancement for preservice and inservice educators across disciplines.
