Acerca del autor

Steve’s first job in education, before he became a school psychologist, was as a driver’s education teacher. Steve had a wonderful opportunity to study school psychology and work at the university, so he followed that path. Steve started his career as a school psychologist in a district with a large ELL population. Over the years, he completed graduate work in ELL studies, eventually creating the ELL Critical Data Process. Steve and Ushani (Steve’s wife and co-author) have four books for sale on Amazon.com. The first book, The ELL Critical Data Process-2nd Edition, is a resource for learning professionals for determining whether more interventions are needed or if a special education referral is a reasonable option. Their second book, Evaluating ELL Students for the Possibility of Special Education Qualification went into print in September of 2015, and focuses on the special education evaluation process for language learners and how to potentially achieve appropriate identification rates. Their third book, Special Education Referral or Not, follows a similar method of gathering and analyzing data through a team discussion process that is step-by-step. Their fourth book ELL Teachers and Special Education is a self-study or group study that covers critical special education topics for ELL teachers. As of 2017, Steve has trained over 7,000 educators on ELL and Special Education topics, with a focus on using the ELL Critical Data Process. Ushani Nanayakkara is a writer and commercial trainer who has worked for two corporations as a training development manager. In her collaboration with Steve Gill she makes the material applicable to a broad audience. She also writes historical fiction and thrillers.
