Mainstream Content Teachers With ELLs--How Can They Be Inspired To More Effectively Meet The Needs Of Their ELLs?

I just finished attending an inspiring Saturday workshop on meeting the needs of ELLs in grades K-12 content classes (not ELD/ESL ones). The workshop was at Stanford University and it brought in renowned experts in culture, technology, content delivery, academic language, etc .

Now, it doesn't take much to get me inspired on such topics, but passing on this excitement to some colleagues is taxing on patience.

So my question is this. How can I get "old dogs" to learn new tricks?

Thanks.
