Supporting Mathematical Development for ELL Students
Being committed to reach all students, I have recently found that one of my greatest challenges is accommodating English Language Learners in the classroom. I am currently placed in a low-income middle school where I see the effects of ignorance when it comes to diversity. Not only am I interested in becoming more aware of how to connect and access all students in my classroom, but I believe it is critical for the success of my students. Attending the NCTM Annual Meeting in New Orleans will allow me the opportunity to develop professionally and gather resources to help me meet the needs of ELL students.
