As a teacher, you know that making assumptions rarely leads to a win. We want to be without judgments as we seek the root issue. This includes defiant behavior from your English Learners. Don’t assume EL behavioral issues stem from defiance. Sometimes, cultural differences and miscommunications become contributing factors. Leverage interpreters to clarify expectations, discuss challenges, and problem-solve respectfully with families. Check for understanding and do your best to remain open-minded. With cooperation and insight into EL home values, minor issues are easily resolved.

In today's Teachers Only Live-Stream with @CathleenElise, we're talking about 3 main areas involved in the global focus of hiring only native-English-speaking English teachers, as well as constructive ways we can turn this obsession around so that all teachers of English are hired for no other reason than their skill and qualifications. Well, we'll spend 30 minutes or so walking through the ins-and-outs of these issues and obstacles (and some ways to address them productively) while also helping you to create a plan that works for you in your life as it is right now. By the time you leave, you'll be able to start working on taking the necessary steps to create solutions in your life right now. We'll also talk about two great resources I have come across that focus specifically on bringing about positive change in the world of teaching English as a foreign or second language.
