I have truly enjoyed this class. I
found it surprising the bias that people project on to others. I also found it
interesting to determine what bias I projected on to others as well. I was able to look
deeper into my challenge of working with English Language Learners. I hope to
further my knowledge and education on what factors teachers use to determine
that a child needs special education. Providing teachers with proper training
will help them to be more knowledgeable on the different cultures in their class.
My future aspirations are to continue learning more about ELL students, learn
more about stress, trauma and resilience. Teaching resilience in the midst of
trouble helped to motivate me in this profession. Reading several articles of
families that assimilated into the culture and the various resources they need
fuels my passion for working with ELL students and their families. This class
has truly added to who I am as a scholar-practitioner!
