Linguistically & Culturally Diverse Learners
Imagine for a moment that in your community there is a negative reaction toward English language learners and the prevailing comments you hear echo the notion, "They've been here their whole lives. Why haven't they learned English yet?" What is your response to these community stakeholders? What might you need to change about yourself in dealing with confrontational issues as a teacher?
