It was my only dream, and as I studied education in college, I had a pretty clear idea of exactly what my classroom would feel like, sound like and of course, look like. Before teaching, I spent an invaluable eight years as a paraprofessional, through which I gained hands-on experience with every kind of learning there is.
As I entered the classroom for the first time as a teacher, I thought I’d had all of the experience I needed to establish a culture of academic achievement. But I quickly learned that teaching English Language Learners is a whole different ballgame.
