MsSalvac Sep 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3) they need to know that even the newcomers can be working at grade level. They need to set the bar high across the campus. #ellchat

SharonJKGlenn Sep 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3) Admin need to go on a few home visits to get a taste of how ELLs blend their home culture w/ life in US. #ELLCHAT

HSeslteacher Sep 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 I’ve met so many administrators in charge of ESL/bilingual Ed that have never read their state regulations! Just go on rumor! #ELLCHAT

JennyVo15 Sep 25 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: Lang developmt takes time. Academic mastery takes time. All Ts are lang Ts, not just reading Ts or ESL Ts. #ELLCHAT

Sara_n_deepity Sep 25 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3. Possibly finding a consistent and more foundational way to monitor our ELs progress through language acquisition. #ELLCHAT

CarolinaTesol Sep 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3) Admins need to know that accommodations aren't just helpful-they're mandated. #ELLChat

A1: This my first year as a 5th grade Bilingual teacher #ellchat
