| Title | Make Back-to-School A Positive Experience for English Learners |
| Body |
Jane Echevarria offers some tips for making English learners feel welcome when school begins:
• Be welcoming in your words and affect.
• Learn your students’ names and how to pronounce them correctly.
• Display items and visuals around the classroom that represent your students’ cultures and languages such as photos, posters, and books.
• Communicate high expectations, with support provided.
• Be sensitive about asking the class how they spent their summer, where their family went on vacation, and other kinds of typical back-to-school sharing activities or assignments.
• Post the daily schedule and classroom rules/expectations in a visual manner that is easy for English learners to understand, even if they can’t comprehend every word.
• Don’t criticize students if they are a day or more late in returning back to school.
