“Put me in Coach”

This last week, I had a new English Language Learner enter into my classroom. He is a new student recently from Guadalajara. When I began to introduce myself, his peers interrupted me to inform me how he does not know English. One of his closest peers was a female Early Advanced English Language Learner. I was shocked she would interrupt my introduction and excuse my introduction because of his lack of English. She was at one time where he was. TPE 15 states how it is important to implement or initiate student awareness. To do so, I would inform students on the immigration process. I would pair ELL students in my classroom with their peers at a level above them(i+1). English Language Learners need peers who are willing to coach them through the process of acquiring English Speaking Skills. I plan to implement my Social Justice Plan in my classroom to positively influence all students on campus. This is a practical plan of implementation. I foresee some students might struggle with sympathizing for others, but I plan to coach them through the process. I will model building relationships with students from all backgrounds.
