Episode 103 - Questions Answered - Developing Supportive Mindset for EL Success


Listen Later

Guess what? It's Q & A time. I receive many emails from teachers sharing their current biggest struggles, both EL teachers and classroom educators. I read every single email, and although I don't always have the time to respond to you personally, I want you to know that I see you and I hear you. And with that, I also know that if one person is asking the question, there have to be other people wondering about the same thing as well. So today, I took six of the most burning questions, and we'll answer them in this episode. As always, we will talk about teaching newcomers, both in an EL setting and in regular education classrooms. We will touch upon why it is essential for schools to address the way ELs are serviced and revisit the language acquisition process.

What you will hear about in this episode:

  • The importance of addressing questions that resonate with multiple teachers
  • Struggles with teaching high school newcomers who do not speak English
  • A new English teacher's struggle with teaching students of all levels in a private academy
  • Emphasizes honoring the stages of language acquisition and working with students at their pace
  • The challenges of limited resources and insufficient staffing in covering multiple schools
  • The importance of mindset shifts and collaboration between EL and regular education teachers for tangible change
