I think my strength is using the functional approach to language development, as well marrying content and language in my Integrated ELA class, as well as my ALD classes. Weakness: collaboration among stakeholders (I always feel I'm on an island by myself with not a lot of buy in from others). Equity is always a work in progress. We are better at my school than when we started, but we have a long way to go. -Debi Moravetz

One strength would be drawing on students' linguistic and cultural resources (under equity of opportunity and access). I try to play up the strengths students already have. For example, many of my students are working on memorizing the Koran. I try to play up those memorizing skills and show them how they can apply that skill in school.
