English Language Learners
12 Key Practices

Key Practice One: Create school and classroom environments that affirm linguistic and cultural diversity by representing ELL's languages, cultures, and experiences within school routines, events and activities.

Morning meeting is a perfect place to begin this process. By providing open-ended questions, students get the opportunity to share a piece of themselves.
