Background

About Kaleb Rutter

As an ESL educator, EL Program Coordinator, and researcher, I am passionate about developing research-based instructional content that enhances language learning. At Desoto County Schools, I oversee the English Learner (EL) department, ensuring federal and state compliance while designing evidence-based ESL materials for diverse learners. Currently pursuing a graduate degree in Applied Linguistics, I integrate linguistic research, discourse analysis, and cognitive learning principles into ESL curriculum development. My expertise extends to assessment design, AI-driven language learning, and data-informed instruction. I manage student identification, language service planning (LSPs), and EL data tracking using Ellevation, ensuring multilingual learners receive tailored support. I specialize in the intersection of language acquisition, technology, and research-driven instruction, bridging educational content development, applied linguistics, and instructional design. I believe in leveraging AI and research-based strategies to optimize ESL learning. I am seeking opportunities in TESOL, ESL curriculum development, educational research, and AI-driven language instruction in remote, research-based, or instructional content roles.
