Bienvenidos! Salubungin! أهلا بك! Willkommen! Tiếp rước!
The North County Village welcomes you back to the 2015-2016 school year! What will be most integral to students' success is the effort we put into our practice. Working with such a diverse group of learners proves to be rewarding after seeing the amazing projects and real-world connections they're making every day. These experiences can also be challenging, and for different reasons. Some educators make immediate connections with the SPED students while others are dependent on the Inclusion staff to bridge the gap. Some teachers are able to instinctively have tools for working with English learners (ELs) and others feel in the dark or intimidated. Here's the thing, specific teaching strategies that work for one kid work for all learners in your classroom, in some way, shape or form. Rather than think of EL strategies for only the English learners in your class, think of them as strategies for all learners (AL). I'm starting a new acronym, mainly because here at HTH (and at a ton of amazing schools around the globe) we promote equity for all learners by our full inclusion model. To be true to this we must continue to be open to being a reflective practitioner, asking ourselves how can we be better, what can we try that would benefit our students?
