Embrace. Engage. Empower! Core Teachers as English Learner Collaborators
This presentation will highlight the untapped potential of core teachers in effectively supporting English learners (ELs) within the mainstream classroom. The presentation will showcase how core teachers can embrace a collaborative role for EL students to positively impact student success. This session will seek to raise awareness among district leaders, school administrators, educators, and stakeholders about the benefits and importance of incorporating engaging strategies and differentiated techniques into the teaching practices of core subject teachers. It will empower core teachers by providing them with the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary to effectively support English learners in their classrooms. Ultimately, this session will emphasize the idea that every teacher has the potential to be an EL educator and contribute to the academic and linguistic growth of English learners.
