Episode 165. One EL Strategy, One Shift: How to support ELs without burning yourself out


Listen Later

If you’re listening today and you feel like you’re constantly trying to do more—more scaffolds, more supports, more differentiation—yet still wondering if you’re doing enough for your English learners, this episode is for you. 

In today’s episode, I want to do something very simple and very intentional.

I’m going to share:

  • One practical EL strategy you can use tomorrow
  • And one Inner Classroom takeaway that will help you actually sustain your teaching—without burning yourself out

I have shared a lot about EL teaching strategies in some of my previous episodes on this podcast and I can link a few episodes for you to peruse below. But today’s episode is going to go a little deeper rather than wider - no overload, no long list.  Just one solid instructional move and one internal shift.
