About
Enabling Learning, LLC was created to provide, parents, teachers, and students with bilingual resources that support academic language development and STEAM learning. It was founded by Luis J. Hernández, an instructional designer with more than 20 years of experience in educational technology who partnered with other professionals in the area of education to provide comprehensive and customized consulting and on-site or online professional development workshops for school districts across the country.
Over the years, Enabling Learning has designed and published successful educational resources currently used in schools and higher education institutions. We genuinely believe that blending student-centric learning techniques with new technologies is a powerful way to facilitate meaningful and lasting learning.
Our primary goal is to provide parents and educators with research-based strategies, tested technological tools, and best practices to facilitate the academic success of English language learners.
