Heck. As specialists in English language learning, we don't even agree on what to call ourselves, our students, or our programs. ELLs, ELs, LEP, ESL, ELD, ESOL, bilingual. With chaos in terminology, our communication with content-area teachers, school administrators, and student services staff is often garbled and filled with off-putting labels.

However, in many high schools across the United States, 16- to 20-year-old immigrants who seek to attend school are discouraged from enrolling and referred to adult literacy programs offering far fewer hours of schooling.

The lack of enthusiasm for serving these students is unfortunate, but understandable. Public schools may feel they have little to gain and much to lose by enrolling older adolescents who have little or no English.

There are any varying styles that are appropriate in different situations or with diverse groups of people. There are also many different positions in education that require leadership.

a school leader helps teachers and students achieve and perform to the best of their abilities.

Leadership has a significant impact on the school because the style sets the tone for the entire building

As more and more laptops find their way into middle and high schools, educators are using Google Docs to do collaborative exercises and help students follow along with the lesson plan. The students, however, are using it to organize running conversations behind teachers’ backs.

"We spend approximately $330 per pupil per year on textbooks," he said. "Over four years, that's over $1,500. With the Android tablet, we'll issue it to a student when he's in the ninth grade. He will have that four years. So, that's under $150 compared to $1,500."

"The kids will have Internet access wherever they are in the building,"

the Androids are set up to contain graphing and science calculators, both of which can cost $75 to $100 if purchased as separate items in stores

Access to high-speed Internet in schools is particularly important for rural and low-income communities. When Internet connections in schools are too slow, and students don’t have access at home, students miss the benefits of educational technologies altogether.

Teacher: We Are Pawns in Someone Else’s Game

Schools market a product. It’s called education. It’s called reading and writing and math and social studies and science. It is called college and career readiness. But most importantly, it’s called hope and dreams. It is the future we market.

Or at least we used to. Nowadays, we’re forced to market high test scores and low suspension rates.

Nationally, the Federal Communications Commission notes that 7 out of 10 teachers assign homework that requires high-speed Internet access, yet in some communities, only 1 in 3 students can access the Web at home.

there is growing agreement that scores on standardized tests of academic skills are incomplete measures of the important things that students learn from their teachers.

untested learning outcomes are measureable and that specific components of teaching influence them in nuanced and interesting ways.

Agency is the capacity and propensity to take purposeful initiative—the opposite of helplessness. Young people with high levels of agency do not respond passively to their circumstances; they tend to seek meaning and act with purpose to achieve the conditions they desire in their own and others’ lives.

The website becomes the tool by which to tell their "learning story." We'll end our year by reflecting and setting new goals for high school.

The website becomes the tool by which to tell their "learning story." We'll end our year by reflecting and setting new goals for high school.

This dynamic shift in students learning styles requires a specific kind of curriculum, one that responds to their different emerging needs and help them make the best of their learning experiences and most important of all, prepares them for jobs that are not yet created

In this talk from TEDGlobal 2012, computer science professor Shimon Schocken shares the idea that educators don’t necessarily need to actively teach, but instead can provide an environment for self-learning

What kind of school would have teenagers fighting to get in, not fighting to stay out?
