Secondary and Higher Education ELL Instructor, Waterloo, IA

I would love to see all students developing litaracy to the level that will allow them o function well in all content areas. To achieve that, I need to learn the shortage areas and causes in order to implement adequate aooroaches and methodologies. That will work woth particular groups of students. Therefore, permanent screaning and diagnostic tests, along with professional development would be necessary to accomplish that goal. Being aware of a new role models we are for our students, which is very far from traditional, striving for the 'whole development' of our students was and still is an imperative. That includes developing trust, understanding and reliance that would lead to emotional, social and academic confidence and independence. Preparing our students to become happy and productive community members is my ultimate goal.
