-Educators should be culurally responsive and self-reflective in order to address our own underlying biases.

-Educators should know that being an ELL isnt a disability, and that ELL students should be held to reasonably high expectations in the classroom.

-Educators should be willing to apply the constructivist approach to teaching. Promoting an inquiry based learning environment.

- Educators should have a "Deep Knowledge" of their students. Having the ability to relate and draw upon an ELL student's past cultural experiences will help make classroom learning more meaningful for the student.]]> 2017-07-01 17:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dhagar2/t2ud2de4ahfa/wish/177866863 Questions I Am Left With dhagar2 https://padlet.com/dhagar2/t2ud2de4ahfa/wish/177867053 -Pedagogically what are we doing as educators, particularly in growing school districts, to be ready to deal with and embrace the multitude of different culture's many social identities in productive and meaningful ways?
