What does An ESL Teacher do?

Our job is to support students who speak and/or understand multiple languages. We believe bilingualism (or multilingualism!) is a huge asset to these students, but sometimes they need a little support to do their very best in school...and that's where I come in.  

At PPE, we do both push-in (staying in the classroom and co-teaching with the classroom teacher), and pull-out (taking small groups out of the room so we can customize instruction).  Some of these groups get "ELD," or "English Language Development" which is a curriculum written specifically to help students develop language skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.

We work with grades kindergarten-5th grade.  We love that we can work with students for multiple years and get to see them grow as learners and as people.
