Are you teaching a diverse group of students that includes English as Additional Language (EALs)? Do you feel unprepared to support these learners in the school environment? Schools and educators in SK must provide services to EAL students to support their literacy skills, curriculum outcomes, and social well-being as they navigate their education. This course will explore the essential role of the EAL educator through readings, videos, reflections, applied exercises, thinking routines, and annotated discussions. You will learn about EALs and their stories and confront some of the preconceived notions we have of marginalized groups. You will consider elements of language acquisition and the importance.
