A comment that struck me from the Lea interview was about how some content teachers felt frustrated that ELLs were being pulled out for one-on-one work. While I haven’t heard this exact thing from the teachers at my placement for ELL students, I have heard this sentiment from teachers about students with disabilities being pulled from content classes. It seems like the relationship between ESL staff and content teachers is often fraught.

I was really disappointed to see that Furness, the high school my school feeds into, does not have the resources to teach their students how to better their literacy and language ability levels in their home language. This has showed me that there is a gap that I can potentially fill in my instruction time by utilizing tools like Duolingo and normalizing language learning in my classroom.

It is important to seek out support and resources as soon as possible (going down to the office and gathering data re test scores, etc).
It’s a 2 way street: working with ESL specialists/teachers to better support your students in the general classroom.
Taking the extra time to support all of your students (Google translate, images, etc).
Accommodations would help ALL students (more visuals, explicit guidance).

Lea seems very well staffed. I wonder how I can help my ESL students succeed without the same level of ESL staff support.

This allows us to have conversations with ESL staff to differentiate our curriculum in ways which will best support individual students.

Communication with families by the ESL teacher is a very important resource for general education teacher to know more about students' backgrounds

It was exciting to see how dedicated these staff members are to educating my students as best as possible, and that is definitely some common ground that we can use to teach together!

I wonder what Propel’s data will look like next year.
I wonder how the students feel, if they feel this support is actually helpful.
I wonder how one language may be more supported or scaffolded than another (ex: Spanish vs Mandarin).
I wonder what the mental health toll is on students who don’t receive adequate support/delayed support.
