Gaining Respect: Promoting ELL in the Low-Incidence School
Abstract
ELL teachers in low-incidence schools often face ‘visibility’ problems: working in multiple schools, teaching in ‘closets,’ dealing with insufficient budgets, and encountering skepticism from classroom teachers. This presentation offers concrete suggestions for raising awareness of ELL’s critical role among classroom teachers, the administration, and other school employees.
