Question: In what ways might
you adapt your teaching/curriculum for English language learners in
your classes?
We are a nation of immigrants.
Currently the largest and fastest growing segment of new Americans
are those from Hispanic backgrounds. Our city schools, both locally
and nationally, now average 50% Hispanic/Latino. The ethnic make-up
of the teaching profession is hardly one-tenth of that (5%
Hispanic). Consider the implications of this, and use the links to
prepare yourself to make an impact, especially via the first three
Primary Links.
