Judie Haynes writes, "The school year is well under way, and teachers are beginning to get to know their students and to build relationships with them. The teachers that work with English learners (ELs) should know how crucial their classroom practices are to the success of these students. Here are four essential practices that effective teachers of ELs exhibit in their classrooms:

 

1. Demonstrate a positive, asset-based relationship with students.

2. Provide scaffolds to support ELs to acquire new information.

3. Make use of flexible grouping of students in the classroom.

4. Model appreciation of diversity in the classroom."
