I strongly believe in the importance of welcoming ELLs and their families into the school community and building a sense of comfort, trust, and acceptance. In my own personal life, my parents came from the Dominican Republic to the United States, not knowing any English. I watched them struggle with communication, adjusting to a different culture, etc. This is why I want to always acknowledge the cultural backgrounds of my students and their families and be able to support them as they adjust to American culture and learn English. ]]> 2023-03-28 20:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/leannesuazo/u46bx95esgo8vwyc/wish/2535614573 Topic and Format leannesuazo https://padlet.com/leannesuazo/u46bx95esgo8vwyc/wish/2535614904 My topic is cultivating a culturally responsive ethos for ELL students and the format is on a Padlet.
