Do you agree? Have you seen evidence of this in your school?

Let me share my experience. I saw an email from who I later learned was our school's ELL "Program Leader," a 6th grade teacher at our k-8 offering to do a little after school ELL training for any teacher who was interested. Because I had about 3 or 4 ELL students in one class and was trying to expand my teaching practice/skills, I went. I was the only teacher there. :/ I think there are plenty of opportunities -- even a simple search on the internet for reaching ELLs is so helpful -- I wonder if perhaps the issue is more teacher interest/buy-in/knowledge about ELLs? All training I have received at my campus has been helpful.

They may still need to learn they can feel safe in their environment. As a teacher, I think we can help these kids by first helping them know they are loved and valued. We can make a connection with them. As that relationship develops, the student will be able to come to a point where they are more ready to take on academics. -Heather https://padlet.com/oryandav/so16jdhb4u8hfp9c/wish/1190291999 2021-02-11 01:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/so16jdhb4u8hfp9c/wish/1190291999 Cristina T. https://padlet.com/oryandav/so16jdhb4u8hfp9c/wish/1190292202 Kennedy, I have enjoyed using the Little Leaders series and the Who is? series as well to teach about different people and their experiences and the different backgrounds they have come from.]]> 2021-02-11 01:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/so16jdhb4u8hfp9c/wish/1190292202 https://padlet.com/oryandav/so16jdhb4u8hfp9c/wish/1190292242 Talking to the school psychologist about different strategies to help a student who has been through trauma and rejects academics.

Even if it's rough going. Try choosing one thing that's an interest of theirs and see if you can work that one thing in to try and help them feel successful. Be willing to talk and listen and eventually even bargain as that relationship gets stronger. Pick your battles. ]]> 2021-02-11 01:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/so16jdhb4u8hfp9c/wish/1190296025 Angie, I think we should correct them. Ain't isn't their language, it is slang for English.
